As a public-private partnership, we work with tech companies, civil society, and governments across the world to coordinate tech responses to terrorist use of the internet whilst respecting human rights. Our workstreams cover fintech, e-commerce, social media, encrypted messaging, transport tech, content storage and file-sharing. During the first half of the event, we invite academics, companies, governments, and civil society organisations to share assessments of the terrorist threat and discuss emerging responses to this challenge. In the second half, tech companies will be able to participate in Tech Against Terrorism’s in-person training workshop to help build capacity against terrorist exploitation. You will:
- Gain expert insight through declassified threat assessments of terrorist use of the internet
- Participate in best practice and knowledge sharing with leading industry experts
- Learn more about the Knowledge Sharing Platform and the Data Science Network

Tech Against Terrorism is launched and supported by the UN Security Council to help small companies tackle terrorist exploitation. Since 2017, we have engaged with over 150 global companies. In 2017 we launched the Knowledge Sharing Platform to support companies in developing Terms of Service, moderation procedures, and transparency reports. Last year, we launched the Data Science Network to develop technological tools to help small tech platforms identify terrorist content. This year, we worked with the academic website Jihadology.net to implement a user registration system to restrict easy access to the website for terrorists and those vulnerable to radicalisation whilst allowing access for academics and expert researchers. The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) is a coalition launched in 2017 focusing on disrupting terrorists’ ability to promote terrorism, disseminate violent extremist propaganda, and exploit or glorify real-world acts of violence using tech platforms. The GIFCT is founded by Facebook, Google, Twitter and Microsoft.
