It strengthens the cyber-war against Isis. YouTube and Facebook, the two platforms where you watch videos, they fielded a technology capable of blocking and eliminate violent and terrorist content, such as beheadings Isis. The technology would be built along the lines of a system already used to locate and remove content that is covered by copyright. This move would be the answer to an appeal of Barack Obama in the Silicon Valley, the program with the participation of technology companies is called Counter Extremism Project. According to reports in the international press, the system used by YouTube and Facebook would compare the videos posted online with a database of images already stored, like forbidden.
In the case of analogies would be eliminated. At the moment we were not disclosed many details and even the two companies concerned confirm, probably for fear that terrorist groups that make large network use and social networks can understand how the system works, and bypass it. The development of this technology is a further effort to counter the pro-Jihad propaganda on the Internet. In late April, President Barack Obama and other American and European leaders, concerned about online radicalization, have launched an appeal to big hi-tech precisely to discuss a content blocking system of this type. And recently Google, Facebook and Twitter have been accused in court by the father of one of the victims of the Paris attacks, allowing the dissemination of terrorist propaganda content.
In recent months Twitter has blocked dozens of thousands of accounts due ISIS. So much so that its founder Jack Dorsey, along with the CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg in February has come under fire Isis: the two have appeared in a video of 25 minutes spread online and signed by a group calling itself the Sons Caliphate Army , where their images are seen surrounded by flames and perforated by bullets. A cyber-war against all her Isis is leading even Anonymous: in the past violated several accounts linked to the Daesh (Arabic acronym of the so-called Islamic State), but the most dramatic gesture was that following the murder of Orlando. Many Twitter profiles pro-Isis were hacked: terrorist propaganda has been replaced by multi-colored flags and messages on the gay pride.
