Tackling Terrorists’ Online Activities

Terrorist groups use the internet for a variety of purposes, from disseminating propaganda and recruitment to fund-raising and psychological warfare. Developing responses that are effective and maintain respect for human rights and basic values is one of today’s most pressing challenges, and a key focus of the work of Professor Stuart Macdonald. Stuart is the Director of the Cyber Threats Research Centre, which runs the bi-annual Terrorism and Social Media Conference (TASM), bringing together over 200 attendees from all over the world, to share latest research and discuss prominent issues in relation to counter-terrorism.
