Tech Against Terrorism invites you to our UN General Assembly week side-event. At this event we will discuss our Terrorist Content Analytics Platform (TCAP) and will be seeking to solicit feedback from key stakeholders, including governments, tech companies, academics and counter-terrorism experts, all of whom will benefit from this platform’s capabilities.

The TCAP, which is being built with support from the Government of Canada, is the world’s first centralised platform of verified terrorist content and is aimed at facilitating tech company moderation of terrorist content and improving quantitative analysis of terrorist use of the Internet.

At this event, we will offer an in-depth presentation of the TCAP and what it can do for stakeholders, as well as giving a platform to experts from across the counter-terrorism field and the technology industry to discuss their thoughts on terrorist use of the Internet in general and how we can adapt and respond to this threat. We will also recap some of our activities in 2019, including our work with Jihadology.net, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, as well as some of our most recent research, with a look towards upcoming projects in 2020.

The event will take place in Midtown, New York. Exact location will be shared with registered participants one day before the event. Please note that registration does not guarantee admission.

We hope to see you in New York.

About Tech Against Terrorism

Tech Against Terrorism is an initiative launched by the United Nations Counter Terrorism Executive Directorate (UN CTED) in April 2017 and implemented by the UK-based NGO QuantSpark Foundation. We support the global technology sector in responding to terrorist use of the internet whilst respecting human rights, and we work to promote public-private partnerships to mitigate this threat. Our research shows that terrorist groups – both jihadist and far-right terrorists – consistently exploit smaller tech platforms when disseminating propaganda. At Tech Against Terrorism, our mission is to support smaller tech companies in tackling this threat whilst respecting human rights and to provide companies with practical tools to facilitate this process. As a public-private partnership, the initiative is supported by the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) and the governments of Spain, Switzerland, the Republic of Korea, and Canada.
