He said the tool could definitely help to ensure freedom of speech as media outlets step up efforts to monitor potentially dangerous content.
“The United States is not currently in a position to join the endorsement," a White House spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday."The best tool to defeat terrorist speech is productive speech."
