I think removing extremist content is a good idea overall (although this then begs the question, how do you legally define extremist content?[1]), but I feel like 1 hour is a bit tough, primarily because 1 hour can mean different things: does it mean from being reported, or being uploaded? This question isn’t covered in the article and it’s an important distinction I feel.

1: the problem being that a lot of religious texts could be defined as “extremist” if an ill defined law is created. I guess you have to define directly what content would be considered extremist, e.g. any video from a known terrorist/terrorist group like ISIL, which will never be perfect but better than having a definition that’s too loose.
