There is more information online against the Daesh terror group (outlawed in numerous countries) than content that supports it, the US Department of State said in a press release on the efforts the US-led coalition to defeat Daesh.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The release noted that increasing the resistance to Daesh propaganda on the internet is vital to the efforts of the US-led coalition against the terror group.
