Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has written to social media giants warning that failing to remove extreme videos from their services could lead to further attacks like the Southport atrocity.

She called on Elon Musk’s X, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube to “urgently review” material accessed by killer Axel Rudakubana - which she said is still available online.

Before leaving home, he had searched online for “Mar Mari Emmanuel stabbing” – the knife attack on a bishop in Sydney, Australia, in April last year.

The graphic video was removed in Australia but is still available to view in the UK, the Cabinet ministers said.

“We are therefore urgently asking you to ensure this is also removed from your platforms to ensure that it is not used to inspire other attacks,” they wrote.

“This trial has laid bare the potential consequences of failing to act on such content.

“We would now urge you to urgently review again the specific content accessed by Rudakubana and the options available to you to remove all instances of this specific material, found to be materially relevant to this tragic case, present on your services.”

Rudakubana also had a PDF file entitled Military Studies In The Jihad Against The Tyrants, The Al Qaeda Training Manual, which led to him facing the charge under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

The ministers warned that the killer had been able to easily obtain this document online and it “continues to remain available”.

“We must prevent further unlawful access to instructional material by those wishing to do harm to the United Kingdom,” they said.

“We are again requesting that you, as industry leaders, swiftly remove any unlawful material on this list available on your services, including the material used by Axel Rudakubana.”

The UK’s new Online Safety Act means social media firms will be required from March to remove illegal content including violent material.

But the Home Secretary and Technology Secretary said services have “a moral responsibility to act now”.

“There is no justification for waiting for laws to kick in,” they said.

Police have warned it could take years to uncover what was in the killer’s internet browsing history, which he deleted before he left the house to carry out the atrocity.

To obtain the information, detectives needed to go through US companies Microsoft, which owns the search engine Bing, and Google, which owns the web browser Chrome.

According to Google, the police could have applied through the UK courts for an overseas production order which, if granted, would have meant the data was produced more quickly.

A spokesman said earlier this week the company was in touch with Merseyside Police to support their inquiries and that its “deepest sympathies are with all of the families and individuals affected by this horrific attack”.

The force said requests had been submitted through the correct channels for a criminal investigation.
