Public Safety committee  Yes, that's correct.

Public Safety committee  You're absolutely right, sir. I would encourage research on far-left search activity or any far-left activity in Canada. We would go where the data leads us. That particular project was an investigation into far-right, al Qaeda and Daesh inspired terrorism. Within that context, t

Public Safety committee  As I mentioned earlier, sir, I believe every prevention capability should be cross-ideological in nature, so yes, I would welcome that study.

Public Safety committee  I am personally on the board of Life after Hate. That's correct.

Public Safety committee  We tend to find, and some of these findings have been in partnership with Life After Hate over the years, that, while ideology is important, usually when you're delivering interventions, it's most important to get at the underlying drivers, and if you can get at the underlying dr

Public Safety committee  Thank you for your question, sir. Deplatforming works. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that deplatforming does work in limiting the spread of terrorist content on platforms, but it's not enough on its own. In order to effectively prevent terrorist abuse of online platforms

Public Safety committee  We do, sir. In our international work, we do track search terms that are affiliated with anti-government left-wing extremist movements specifically inciting violence against the government.

Public Safety committee  We have not done that work in Canada, not at this stage.

Public Safety committee  The funding that we received at the time for Canada redirect was specifically to cover far-right extremism and al Qaeda and Daesh inspired terrorism. There was a previous project that we delivered back in 2017 that was about the digital capacity of prevention practitioners acros

Public Safety committee  At the time, some of my main recommendations were based on the reality that far-right extremism so often falls in a policy gap between the community safety initiatives and counterterrorism. Counterterrorism practitioners and the counterterrorism community across Canada needed to

Public Safety committee  The government can invest in Canadian practitioners taking their skills from an off-line context and creating digital content that will be those safer alternatives. When Moonshot delivers this work, we are not creating those safer alternatives. We actually want to be directing at

Public Safety committee  In part because we are not accessing or engaging with any personally identifiable data when we run these kinds of campaigns, we can't say for certain that the person we're offering a safer alternative to is a researcher or someone who is at risk, but because we are not actually m

Public Safety committee  When we're running advertising campaigns on search, we're using the same commercial methods that any big brand uses to ensure that their content comes up first—for example, when you're looking for information on how to buy a pair of shoes. If you're looking in Canada for informat

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much for the question. I'm very happy to be here. We believe the Government of Canada should be not only funding research on these threats but also working to build practitioners' capabilities across Canada to intervene across these ideological spectrums. While I

Public Safety committee  This is a moment where we're seeing a very worrying blending and metastasization of disinformation narratives and violent extremist narratives. Some of these narratives have been pushed heavily by violent extremist groups over the last several years, and then we're now starting t
