People who repeatedly view terrorist content online will face up to 15 years in prison, the home secretary has told the Conservative Party conference.
Amber Rudd set out her intention to change the law to increase the maximum penalty from 10 years.
The offence of possessing information likely to be useful to a terrorist will also apply to material viewed repeatedly or streamed online.
Currently it applies only to material that is downloaded and stored.
An example cited was of a male who streamed bomb-making videos on YouTube but could not be charged with a terror offence because he had not saved them.
The changes to Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000 will be designed to safeguard those who click on a link by mistake, or who could argue that they did so out of curiosity rather than with criminal intent.
