LONDON: Internet companies such as Facebook should do more to remove illegal and offensive content online, British interior minister Amber Rudd said on March 28.

"In terms of illegal material, I still think there is much, much more they can do," Rudd told a committee of lawmakers, adding that some offensive material should be taken down.
