Preventing Terrorist Use of the Internet: The Role for Commonwealth Governments in Asia and Pacific

Event date: 07 November 2022, 9:00 - 09 November 2022, 17:00

The Commonwealth Secretariat, in partnership with Tech Against Terrorism, is inviting government policymakers, regulators, security and law enforcement officials, researchers and practitioners to attend a series of virtual workshop on preventing terrorist use of the Internet.

The virtual workshop will examine the ways that terrorists use the Internet globally and in Commonwealth countries in Asia and Pacific, and will explore positive and sensible measures that governments can take to reduce the spread of violent extremist materials online, and to facilitate industry-led action against terrorist use of platforms.

To accommodate participants in different time zones, the webinar will be held on three alternative dates. Participants can attend the webinar that suits them best.
