Global Research Network on Terrorism and Technology Paper

Summary of Recommendations

• The major technology platforms should begin developing hybrid systems (if they have not done so already) for their own and others’ use.
• Technology companies should actively promote the availability, effectiveness and transparency of appeal procedures. This includes providing to users as full an explanation as possible of why their content was removed.
• The GIFCT shared database of hashes – which focuses on ‘the most extreme and egregious terrorist images and videos’ – should be expanded to include more borderline content.
