KHANNA: LET’S BRING BRITISH PM TO THE VALLEY

June 6, 2017

KHANNA: LET'S BRING BRITISH PM TO VALLEY — Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) tells MT he's exploring how to formally invite British Prime Minister Theresa May to his Silicon Valley district, so she can learn what tech companies are already doing to restrict terrorist groups like ISIS. In the wake of this weekend's London attacks, May argued that the "big companies" that run online services — read Facebook, Twitter and the like — are giving terrorism "the safe space it needs to breed." Said Khanna of tech leaders, "Everyone feels horrible about terrorism and violence. They want to be part of the solution. But they also want it to be factual."
