CEP Senior Adviser Dr. Hany Farid on SkyNews

Tuesday, Feb 13, 2018

CEP Senior Advisor Dr. Hany Farid, in an interview with Sky News, discusses the availability of technologies capable of significantly reducing the incidence of extremist and other harmful content readily available on the Internet and social media platforms and the unwillingness of big technology companies to take more responsibility for what is posted to their platforms. 

"The public, and frankly, the advertisers, are getting tired of this hands off approach, that this is not our problem, we simply allow people to do things, and if they do bad things, well, you know, we're sorry about that."

One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
