Google is set to crack down on terror, the company will implement more measures to identify and remove terrorist or violent extremist content on YouTube.

The search giant said it will take a tougher position on videos containing supremacist or inflammatory religious content by issuing a warning and not monetising or recommending them for user endorsements, even if they do not clearly violate its policies.

The company will also increase its use of technology to help identify extremist videos, in addition to training new content classifiers to quickly identify and remove such content.
