We are careful to vet access in everything that we do. In fact, in everything I will say during this committee meeting, I will assume that terrorists and violent extremists are aware of what we're saying, so there is always concern about not disclosing too much.
Tech Against Terrorism is distinctive in that much of our work is done confidentially and privately. In order to build trust and confidence with smaller platforms, much of this must be done in private. In particular, there are grave concerns about access to the methodology and information that small platforms have. We know that terrorists and violent extremists are extremely adept at changing their use of the Internet. The more information they have about content moderation, the easier it is to change their methodology and therefore subvert mechanisms designed to stop that activity, so we have to be careful.
In detail, for every individual who applies for access to the knowledge-sharing platform, we will ensure that they belong to a real platform. We will email them, call them and ensure that the knowledge that's being shared is appropriate for that audience.
