ISIS remains a global threat not only in Syria and Iraq—but online. As the group continues to lose territory and combatants, ISIS and its affiliates will likely direct more of their efforts to spreading propaganda digitally to young people around the world. Yasmin Green, Jigsaw's head of research and development, explores new ways to disrupt online radicalization and the dissemination of ISIS's message to vulnerable young people. This new approach, using a combination of careful curation of content and targeted advertising, opens a new chapter in the global struggle against violent extremism. In this session, hear Yasmin speak with Hadiya Uddin, who spent nearly a decade as a member of the extremist Islamist group Hizbut Tahrir. Hadiya will share her firsthand experiences with extremism and how technology can help provide a lifeline to young people around the world who might be susceptible to radicalization.
