Created in collaboration with Tech Against Terrorism and the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT), Altitude is touted as the only free, open-source, self-hosted tool that provides online platforms with a comprehensive view of potential terrorist and violent extremist content (TVEC) on their sites.

With just a few clicks, moderators can view, review and remove content flagged by trusted sources, purportedly allowing platforms to take informed and decisive actions.

Any platform can now access Altitude directly or collaborate with Tech Against Terrorism to integrate the tool into their operations, supposedly to gain a better understanding of potential threats and navigate evolving legislation.
