Panel 6B: How can researchers best support online safety regulation of terrorist and violent extremist content online?
Chair: Prof Stuart Macdonald (Swansea University)
Panellists: Dr Marc-André Argentino (Public Safety Canada) Anne Craanen (Swansea University) Alice Rosa Fiol (Human Digital)
Abstract: In this workshop, we will host a facilitated discussion with researchers to cover the following:
•Current landscape for researchers of terrorism and violent extremism, i.e., research identifying prevalence of specific TVEC, different examples of phenomena, etc. •The kinds of insights and evidence that current and future regulators would benefit from (and can use) from the kind of audience that attends TASM, i.e., where can researchers conduct research that would ideally benefit several regulatory regimes (OSA, DSA, ESafety, etc.)? •What are the current challenges and opportunities for researchers to consider when undertaking this research (e.g., researcher API access, cost of carrying out research etc.)? •What could researchers and differing methodologies tell us about effectiveness of mitigations employed by regulated services? •How could researchers ensure that Ofcom’s or other international regulators’ understanding of which services it should be prioritising for engagement is constantly kept up to date? •What opportunities are there for researchers’ work/activities to be beneficial on a cross-industry basis?
