CEP Executive Director David Ibsen writes: "Barely a decade old, cloud computing has revolutionised the way individuals and companies host and access digital content from anywhere in the world. As they have with social media platforms and other online tools, terrorists and their supporters have been misusing cloud services as conduits to radicalisation and a means to incite supporters to commit acts of violence. However, despite increasing international recognition of the threat posed by terrorists’ use of the Internet in recent years, there is currently no government that has focused much attention on the way in which cloud services can be manipulated to the same ends. The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is deeply concerned about the lacklustre response from Internet and social media companies to the continuing problem of online radicalisation. Only after a string of attacks rocked European capitals and cities, did the European Union (EU) begin to focus on ways to pressure tech companies to take the reality of online-inspired extremist violence seriously. Technology giants such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google have been rightly called out by governments to do more to take responsibility for the dangerous content hosted on their sites. With the EU preparing to launch new legislation on the mandatory flagging and removal of terrorist content next month, now is the perfect time for EU officials to consider the broader online environment and specifically address the terrorist content on cloud computing services."
