Quoted in this @nytimes.com article from the brilliant @lizziedearden.bsky.social, discussing the stretching of 9/11-era terrorism legislation to deal with much more nebulous contemporary security challenges www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/w...
A year after the horrific attack on three young girls in Southport, ISD’s new policy paper assesses how policymakers can respond to emerging forms of extremism-related violence which are currently slipping through the cracks 👇 www.isdglobal.org/isd-publicat...
Anti-migrant narratives are uniting longstanding foes on both sides of the Irish border, while far-right actors from overseas are seizing on the opportunity to spread dissent and polarisation 👇 www.isdglobal.org/digital_disp...
Proscription would stretch counter-terror legislation beyond its original scope to cover direct action. Failing to justify deploying the extraordinary powers associated with terrorism legislation comes with major risks of relativising the severity of terrorism.

After 2 Romanian teenagers were charged with an attack on a teenage girl in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, social media platforms were at the heart of a coordinated campaign of anti-migrant violence. Read ISD's analysis of an increasing pattern of online mobilisation translating into offline violence.
Really looking forward to tomorrow's @gnetresearch.bsky.social conference, where I'll be representing @isdglobal.org alongside a great panel of experts discussing online extremism and its offline impacts across the ideological spectrum, from Islamism to the Far Right, and gaming to the Manosphere.
Really enjoyed appearing in this fantastic documentary from PBS Frontline and ProPublica on the 'Rise and Fall of Terrorgram' - a hard recommend for anyone interested in the evolution of militant accelerationism (use a VPN to watch if you're not US based!) @isdglobal.bsky.social
