Tech Against Terrorism is a global campaign designed to help fight terrorist exploitation of technology. Together with leading tech companies, our focus is on building practical tools to help startups develop responses to the exploitation of their services, whilst reinforcing the importance of human rights and protecting fundamental freedoms. To this end, we are engaging with startups around the world to identify their concerns and the best ways in which we might be able to provide assistance.
Since June 2017, Tech Against Terrorism has also been collaborating with leading global technology firms to support the knowledge-sharing component of the “Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism”.
We are hoping to bring on board as many startups from the Silicon Valley area as possible, and so we will be holding our US launch event on August 1, 2017 from 9:30am-12:30pm at SwissNex San Francisco, Pier 17, Suite 800, CA 94111. This will be a free event held under the Chatham House Rule for tech firm representatives who want to network with senior policy officials from major global tech companies including Facebook, Google, and Microsoft, and learn more about how Tech Against Terrorism can help them prevent and address the exploitation of their services by extremists.
