“… We’ve collectively reached a tipping point. If these [social networking] companies took this seriously, they could put an immediate dent into the marketing capabilities of ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Shabab and the rest”

For two decades I’ve headed the Center’s Digital Terror and Hate project that:

• Helps politicians, law enforcement and intelligence understand how extremists leverage social media and other online  technologies to threaten us all

• Shares findings of our annual Digital Terrorism and Hate reports with policy-makers from Washington DC, across Europe and NATO headquarters, to India, Singapore and Japan

• Develops and releases free apps that help law enforcement track our research, empower community activists to report problematic web activity; help young people counter cyberbullying

Social networking is at the core of all terrorist and hate group activities. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has been on the forefront of combatting this growing tide for over a decade.
