We scaled up the expertise of Tech Against Terrorism Europe’s partners, network, and technologies to drive greater awareness of the EU’s terrorist content online (TCO) regulation, supporting smaller tech companies in meeting the requirements to counter the terrorist threat. Through technical support, mentorship programme, we aim to enable tech companies improve their internal processes and policies to better combat terrorist use of their services.
Capacity Building Programme
Drawing from Tech Against Terrorism’s mentorship expertise, Tech Against Terrorism will give bespoke support to European hosting service providers, helping them to establish the necessary internal mechanisms to adhere to European regulation on terrorist content (TCO).
We work closely with the tech industry to prevent the dissemination of terrorist content.
We do this by working with smaller tech companies to develop effective policies and processes to identify and prevent terrorist exploitation of their services.
We also provide advisory support on the regulatory landscape and compliance requirements for removing terrorist content online.
It is a crucial operational tool for tech companies who benefit from the TCAP’s real-time alerts when we identify terrorist content on their platforms.
We aim to support the European tech sector in identifying and alerting terrorist content in scope of the TCO.
We recommend content flagged under the TCO regulation be removed or geoblocked in the EU.
Powered by the investigations of our terrorist content specialists and data scientists, TCAP’s methodology is grounded in the rule of law, following government designation lists to determine what content is classified as terrorist material.
Knowledge Sharing Platform
The Knowledge Sharing Platformcontains curated resources for tech companies wishing to implement an effective and human rights compliant counterterrorism response.
Our carefully-curated policy resource will be expanded to cover European regulation on terrorist content.
Over 50 tech platforms turn to the Knowledge Sharing Platform (KSP) to develop effective counterterrorism policies and moderation processes.
The KSP contains best practice guidelines on content moderation standards, definitions of terrorism, identifies new and existing terrorist threats, and offers companies toolkits to keep their policies and procedures up-to-date.
We will also be creating additional new resources and updating existing ones to continue sharing cutting-edge key insights and policy best practice.
