With an increasing number of countries seeking to regulate terrorist content and online speech in general, the global online regulatory framework is fragmenting into multiple – and sometimes conflicting – legal requirements for tech platforms. **Summary of activities** ![](https://techagainstterrorism.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/The-Online-Regulation-Series-%E2%80%93-2nd-Ed_-1024x726.png) In the ORS 2.0, **we expanded the initial scope of the Online Regulation Series, with a focus on Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa,** to include: - [Poland](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/16/the-online-regulation-series-poland/) - [Indonesia](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/17/the-online-regulation-series-indonesia/) - [Tanzania](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/25/the-online-regulation-series-tanzania/) - [Mauritius](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/23/the-online-regulation-series-mauritius/) - [Nigeria](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/30/the-online-regulation-series-2021-nigeria/) - [Uganda](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/03/the-online-regulation-series-2021-uganda/) - [Ireland](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/08/the-online-regulation-series-ireland/) - [Italy](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/22/the-online-regulation-series-2021-italy/) - [New Zealand](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/10/the-online-regulation-series-2021-new-zealand/) - [Russia](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/15/the-online-regulation-series-2021-russia/) - [Kazakhstan](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/20/the-online-regulation-series-2021-kazakhstan/) **We updated our analyses of countries previously included in the **[**Online Regulation Series in 2020**](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2020/12/22/the-online-regulation-series-summary/)** and ensuing **[**Handbook**](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/07/16/the-online-regulation-series-the-handbook/), to reflect change in online regulatory frameworks in:  - [Australia](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/18/november-2021-update-to-australias-regulatory-framework/)  - [Canada](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/11/24/the-online-regulation-series-2021-canada-update/)  - [Brazil](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/01/november-2021-update-to-brazils-regulatory-framework/) - [The European Union](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/10/the-online-regulation-series-european-union-update/) **We also published a blog providing** [**a general update for all the countries**](https://www.techagainstterrorism.org/2021/12/23/the-online-regulation-series-2021-general-update/) **included in the Online Regulation Series Handbook**, including India, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany.   **ORS Spotlight – Knowledge Sharing Platform** **All blogposts and key resources shared via the Online Regulation Series are also available via our newly launched **[**ORS Spotlight on our Knowledge Sharing Platform**](https://ksp.techagainstterrorism.org/online-regulation-spotlight/#1636050287230-7072b15e-52d0)**,** which is now publicly available without registration.
