Startups
In 2016 we held multi-stakeholder conferences in Zurich, Silicon Valley and Kuala Lumpur to deepen our understanding of how terrorists exploit the internet and technology services. This next phase of the project, Tech Against Terrorism, works with startups to provide operational support and build online tools to underpin long-term capacity growth.
This work feeds into our development of an online knowledge-sharing platform that will form a resource freely accessible to all organisations seeking help and guidance. All our work advocates the strengths of an industry-led, self-regulatory approach to tackling terrorist use of technology, and is informed by the emerging normative framework spearheaded by major technology companies. At the core of it all is a focus on respecting human rights and freedom of speech.
