The Online Hate Prevention Institute carries out a significant amount of work countering terrorism and violent extremism. Our work supplies intelligence to police and security agencies, removes terrorist material and contributes to both the public policy of governments and the corporate policies of technology platforms.
Campaign (November 2020) – Countering Terrorism
During the month of November we will be running a special campaign to counter Terrorism. The campaign aims to increase the focus on preventing this particular area of online hate. Special donations can be made to support this specific campaign and are welcome at any time.
