May who reached here on Wednesday will speak at 6.30pm IST today. She will also ask the tech giants to improve its surveillance to stop the spread of extremism through its platforms.
The UK PM would be demanding to automatically remove contents related with child abuse, terrorism from the websites.
May who is also scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the economic summit would also spare time to laud the shareholders who recently demanded to disclose information about sexual harassment, fake news and hate speech in their sites.
The prime minister would also draw the case of Telegram, a micro-messaging app allegedly used by ISIS terrorists, to push her claim that social media sites are prone to the propaganda unleashed by terror groups and child-abusers to spread their agendas.
May is expected to highlight the need for mutual cooperation between technological leaders and start-up firms to avoid the latter becoming a safe platform to pass destructive contents.
May has been critical of the use of social media platform for sharing abusive contents and the UK had shown its dismay to the US President Donald Trump when he quoted her in an anti-Muslim tweet by a far-right British group in November 2017.
Britain condemned Trump's tweet and termed it as 'wrong'.
