Examining the European Union’s recently introduced regulation to tackling terrorist content online. 

This webinar is for: 

• Tech professionals: whose platforms offer services in the European Union 

• Government or law enforcement officials: who have a role in implementing the TCO or are seeking to understand how it will be enforced 

• Researcher or civil society representatives: wanting to understand the EU TCO’s obligations and its role in the online regulatory landscape 

This webinar will introduce the work of Tech Against Terrorism Europe, established to drive greater awareness about the EU’s new regulation on online terrorist content.  

Tech companies offering their services in the European Union are now required to take action against terrorist content found on their platforms. Hosting service providers must remove terrorist content within one hour of receiving a removal order. 

The webinar is for representatives of tech companies who offer their services in the European Union, as well as policymakers, law enforcement, and government officials who have a role in implementing the TCO and alerting terrorist content. 

This webinar will feature panellists from the consortium behind Tech Against Terrorism Europe, which will support smaller tech companies in meeting the requirements to counter the terrorist threat, as well as experts from the European Union policymaking and law enforcement community.
