Cumulative rage: How to stem the tide of online hate and extremism

For over a decade, The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) has been at the forefront of forging innovative solutions to the global rise of extremist and terrorist movements across the ideological spectrum.

Combining research, educational programmes and policy advisory work with innovative influencer networks and the best in technology/communications, ISD is delivering real-world solutions to match the ever-growing impact, professionalism and technological prowess of extremist groups around the world.

ISD advises 15 governments and spearheads the Global Counter Terrorism’s Work on the Internet and Social Media. It also trains and advises 120 cities in countering extremism through its Strong Cities Network and has forged unique partnerships with Facebook, Google and Microsoft through which it is delivering a range of innovations in online counter-extremism.
