Countering online terrorist propaganda whilst respecting the right to free speech

该项目与Tech Against Terrorism合作，探讨言论自由权（法律规定）与在线恐怖主义宣传/教学内容之间的紧张关系。理解、平衡和实施这些相互竞争的义务是科技公司面临的重大挑战，本项目将寻求解决这一问题。研究员安全：学生将会见大学的预防领导，并获得有关如何获得福利服务的信息。恐怖分子的宣传只能在校园内由erdf资助的安全设施中通过TCAP访问，以确保数据的安全，并防止学生过度接触图形材料。伦理：在伦理审批过程中，将咨询大学的预防领导、首席数字官和威尔士极端主义和反恐部门。该学生将参加“研究方法和伦理”模块（网络犯罪和恐怖主义硕士）；这包括关于GDPR、研究人员福利和研究人员责任的研讨会。

In collaboration with Tech Against Terrorism, this project explores the tensions between the right to free speech (enshrined in law), and the ready availability of terrorist propaganda/instructional content online. Understanding, balancing, and implementing these competing obligations is a significant challenge for tech companies, which this project will seek to address. Researcher safety: the student will meet the University's Prevent lead and receive information on how to access welfare services. Terrorist propaganda will only be accessed via TCAP in the secure ERDF-funded facilities on campus to ensure the data is secure and the student is safeguarded against over-exposure to graphic materials.Ethics: the University's Prevent lead, Chief Digital Officer, and the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit will be consulted during the ethics approval process. The student will attend the "Research Methods and Ethics" module (MA in Cyber Crime and Terrorism); this includes seminars on GDPR, researcher welfare and researchers' responsibilities.
