Law Enforcement Cooperation (JCLEC), and the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Terrorist use of ICTs Australian works with the digital industry, regulatory agencies and international partners to identify, analyse, and disrupt violent extremist propaganda online. This includes increasing and optimising the channels for public reporting, including the Report Online Extremism tool and promoting existing channels on social media platforms; identifying content for referral to regulatory agencies or social media platforms; and working with partner countries to coordinate and maximise individual efforts. Australia also partners with a communications agency to undermine the appeal of violent extremist propaganda through the creation and curation of content that can discredit or trigger doubt in violent extremist messaging; promote positive messages that build trust with and within key Australian communities; and promote legal and constructive avenues for social justice. This includes fostering partnerships between influential individuals, groups and creative experts to design, produce and distribute content that challenges and promotes alternatives to violent extremism. Examples include activities and workshops designed to engage youth and give a greater number of people the skills to speak out against terrorist messaging at a local level, through the media and online to foster critical debate. Australia signed on to the Christchurch Call to Action, and following the Christchurch attacks, Prime Minister Morrison convened the Brisbane Summit to review priority domestic actions with industry, and as a result established a Taskforce on Terrorist and Extreme Violent Material Online comprising representatives from major online platforms, internet service providers and officials. Australia also led development and adoption of the G20 Osaka Leaders’ Statement on Preventing Exploitation of the Internet for Terrorism and Violent Extremism Conducive to Terrorism (VECT). This global commitment urged online platforms to meet citizens’ expectations that they must not allow use of their platforms to facilitate terrorism and VECT. Building on this momentum, Australia is advocating across multiple fora to deepen international norms and develop common industry standards to prevent, detect, remove and deter terrorist and violent extremist content online. For example, it secured OECD member support to develop, in collaboration with industry and civil society, a voluntary transparency reporting protocol for online platforms to ensure a consistent and comparable approach to addressing terrorist and violent extremist content. www.dfat.gov.au/cyberaffairs esafety.gov.au/parents
