That can't possibly be what Trump was saying because there are already laws on the books about that and sites get taken down all the time. This is like Trump saying, "If elected President I will remove child porn from the internet!"
You know what ISIS uses to communicate? Twitter accounts, private Facebook groups, all sorts of free blog and forum websites. So, is Trump saying shut those sites down? Those sites already comply with law enforcement.
No, what Trump is doing is making an excuse for tyranny. This is "But think of the children!" turned into "But what about terrorism!" We already have the NSA, The Patriot Act, and pretty much every other military or telecom-funded Internet bill to serve the interests of everyone but the American people.
Fuck Trump - he is a puppet.
