In this episode, we're exploring how the Taliban's use of the internet and social media has evolved following their takeover of Afghanistan. We also explore how this compares with wider terrorist use of the internet, and the implications for tech companies moderating this content.Join Anne Craanen as she speaks to Charlie Winter, one of the world's leading experts on terrorist propaganda. He is Director of Research at ExTrac, an organisation that tracks the real-time attack and communications data of a range of violent extremist organisations, including the Taliban, to provide actionable insights for Counter-terrorism policymakers and practitioners. Charlie is also an Associate Fellow at the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), studying terrorism, insurgency and innovation, with focus on online and offline strategic communication.We also hear from Colin P. Clarke, Director of Research at The Soufan Group and a Senior Research Fellow at The Soufan Center. He is an Associate Fellow at the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) – The Hague, and serves on the editorial board of Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, as well as Terrorism and Political Violence. He appears frequently in the media to discuss terrorism and counterterrorism, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. Arthur Bradley is a Senior Open-source Intelligence Analyst at Tech Against Terrorism and head of content collection for the Terrorist Content Analytics Platform (TCAP), where he works with tech companies and governments across the world in countering terrorist use of the internet using open-source intelligence. Arthur joined Tech Against Terrorism in 2020 after working for several years in security intelligence with a focus on terrorist and violent extremist propaganda. They explore how the Taliban's media campaign has become increasingly sophisticated in recent years and uncover why different tech companies have different guidelines when it comes to moderating Taliban content, as well as the ethical implications of removing it. Finally, Anne asks the guests about the implications of the designation of the Taliban as a terrorist entity, both on their content online and on the delivery of humanitarian aid for Afghan civilians.To find out more about Tech Against Terrorism and our work, visit techagainstterrorism.org or follow us on Twitter @techvsterrorism, where you can find resources on this topic. Here's where you can learn more about ExTrac's work: https://extrac.io/  The Soufan Center: https://thesoufancenter.org/

Our expert Charlie Winter is Senior Research Fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation. Like all podcasts in this series, this episode is produced by Department of War Studies students who took the module ‘New Wars, New Media, New Journalism’. This module is convened by Dr Peter Busch who is also presenting this episode. The interview with Charlie was recorded in March 2019.

Today we have Charlie Winter on the line. Charlie is a communications expert who specializes in terrorism and insurgency. He is currently working on his PhD for King’s College London examining how militant groups cultivate creative approaches to governance and war. He’s here to help us unpack all things Daesh propaganda: the strategy driving it, how it has evolved, and how to counter it.

Charlie Winter, Nicole Celikkesen This session, which is based on a longitudinal archive of primary source materials collected since early 2014, will set out the current state of play regarding the Islamic State. First of all, by reverse engineering documents and publications leaked from the organisation in Iraq, Winter will set out the tactical and strategic rationale behind the group's propaganda operations, demonstrating how an obsessive desire for information and narrative supremacy has coursed through it and its predecessors' veins for a matter of decades. After this, Winter will identify and discuss the three core objectives of its communication operations today - that is: (1) to present an alternative narrative to current members and would-be recruits; (2) to counter the global "fake news" agenda, which it considers to be a deliberate intellectual offensive against Sunni Muslims; and (3) to launch Islamic State "information bombs" in the form of offensive psychological attacks against populations and governments outside of Syria and Iraq. The third section will consider how things have changed since 2014. Using data to track its evolution, Winter will demonstrate how the group's "virtual caliphate" has altered since its heyday a few years ago. He will also take this as an opportunity speculate as to its operational trajectory in the coming months and years, taking note of its new stated priority: to incite, instruct and instigate acts of violence outside of its immediate sphere of operations in Syria and Iraq.  Throughout the session, which will be highly visual, Winter will engage with some of the toughest questions associated with terrorist use of the Internet, ranging from the merits (and demerits) of censorship to the implications of encryption technology.
