GNET Webinar - At the Nexus of Crime and Terror: Exploring Emerging Challenges for Tech Platforms in Latin America

In

The Global Network on Extremism and Technology (GNET) invites you to attend our next webinar: At the Nexus of Crime and Terror: Exploring Emerging Challenges for Tech Platforms in Latin America. 

In light of the recent Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) designation of Latin American cartels, this webinar will feature three presentations examining the crime-terror nexus in Latin America and its implications for tech companies. 

Topics highlighted in the webinar will include:

The mechanisms through which cartel and violent extremist content evade existing tech moderation.

A regional case study on how digital technologies impact the relationship between organised crime and terrorism.

An evaluation of designation-based enforcement across jurisdictions.

The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session highlighting key considerations for P/CVE practitioners, researchers, and policymakers seeking to navigate the evolving threat landscape. 

Where: Online via Zoom
When: Wednesday 30th September, 16:00 BST / 11:00 EDT
What: Presentation and Q&A
