A huge thanks to our speakers and participants for a fantastic #GIFCTForum2024! Industry leaders, experts and civil society shared key insights on the latest tech trends to strategies in combating online extremism. 📢 Highlight from Ghayda Hassan: "The bedrock of society is a common agreement on the social contract. Currently, the violent extremism space is fragmenting that bedrock, attacking it at its roots. We should respond as civil society, governments, impacted communities, and tech to pull those fragments back together again. GIFCT is a unique space that will allow this rebuilding by encouraging and supporting stakeholder ownership." Let's keep pushing forward together for a safer digital world! 🚀 Stay tuned for more insights and key takeaways from the forum in the coming weeks! #GIFCTForum2024 #OnlineSafety #GlobalCollab #TechForGood
