Amid rising number of hateful remarks on social media, the French government has passed a law that will give social media companies like Facebook and Twitter just an hour to delete content related to pedophilia and terrorism else they will have to face a fine of 4 percent of their global revenue. The latest move is a result of a year-long investigation by French regulators into Facebook's content moderation practices.
