Microsoft has announced a new plan to remove "terrorist content" from its consumer-focused online services.
In a blog post, the company said terrorism had "sparked intense discussion" about how companies should tackle such content on their services.
But it was considering adding "links to positive messaging and alternative narratives" to search results related to terrorism.
It encouraged people to report terror-related content on Microsoft services via its website, but said it wanted to develop technology that could scan documents, images, video and audio to identify known terror-related material.
It said material endorsing a terrorist organisation or its acts, or that encouraged people to join such groups, would be banned.
The rule will apply to services such as Xbox Live and Outlook webmail.
