Tech Against Terrorism & GIFCT Webinar: Mental health and content moderation

Are you a tech professional interested in learning more about the impact of viewing terrorist content on mental health for content moderators – and what can be done to alleviate it?  In this fourth in a series of e-learning sessions, we look at the mental health risks that face those who work in content moderation in being exposed to terrorist content each day. Experts from the GIFCT and leading researchers will share their insights on the scale of the issue itself, as well as offer ideas on best practices that better protect those on the front line of the fight against terrorist use of the Internet. Discussion will be followed by a Q&A session that is open to all participants. About our webinar series: Tech Against Terrorism and the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) are pleased to present our series of e-learning webinars.
