PSNI To Address Terrorist Content On The Internet
The PSNI have announced they are aiming to address terrorist content on the internet.
The TENSOR project is seeking to develop a platform offering Law Enforcement Agencies fast and reliable planning and prevention functionalities for the early detection of terrorist activities, radicalisation and recruitment.
The TENSOR consortium will work to develop an integrated solution for Law Enforcement Agencies, the aim of which is to increase their ability to identify and analyse terrorist generated content on the internet.
Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris said: "The internet is one of the greatest developments of our time. It has revolutionised the way we live and work. But like many advances, it also has proven to have potential of a more subversive nature. Terrorists and criminals use the internet to connect with each other, source tools and techniques and grow support for their ideology. In that way, we see technology utilised in a dangerous way, a way which has the potential to threaten the safety and security of communities across Europe. Indeed we have seen the terrible impact of terrorism in Europe – in London, Manchester, Nice, Paris and Brussels. The research undertaken in the TENSOR project will play an important part in working to increase the capability of law enforcement agencies to prevent and detect the use of the internet by terrorists and increase community safety.
"European funded security research and development work brings together some of the most experienced researchers, technical developers and practitioner’s from across Europe. The TENSOR project topic is challenging and very current. As Law Enforcement and Security Agencies seek to defeat the terrorist threat, we must ensure that we are developing our capabilities to match the challenge we face. Involvement in funded research and innovation projects ensure that we can do this."
