Stunt against radicalization on the Internet – Liberation

They are determined to show that they are acting against the online radicalization. They giants digital and social networks to billions of users, but also the government. All were gathered Wednesday morning in the Paris offices of Google, whose logo skirted those of Facebook and Twitter, the three conductors of the day

After the debates. – Heated – fall on censorship and delisting under the Terrorism Act, the zeitgeist is now promoting against speech. The US government last year launched an online campaign, Think Again Turn Away (think about it twice, turn around), present on the major digital platforms (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr …) to deter potential candidates to join the jihadist ranks. France also has its gate Stop-Djihadisme.gouv.fr, promoted by a video of “fact-checking” supposed to counter the promises made by recruiters. “It was a first step, there is a delay time to catch up,” recognizes Christian Gravel, director of the information service of the government. To do this, it counts again on the big net.

In January, after the attacks, Bernard Cazeneuve was heavily emphasized the need to “empowering Internet players” and “intensify relations with major operators.” Will repeated by the Prime Minister a few days later, recalling the “indisputable legal responsibility” Webhost content. Suiting the action to the word, had gone to meet Cazeneuve Google, Facebook & amp; Co at home in Silicon Valley in the US in February. One way to to nail the “sensitize” the issue of “terrorism free access” , then summarized his entourage.

The hosts responded lukewarm to these friendly pressure, citing their active participation in mechanisms already provided for by law. Giuseppe de Martino, director of ASIC, the union that groups the main platforms in France, evoked a different track: “ We regret that nothing has been said about the contribution of the Internet in terms of counter Speech how it can be used to fight against radicalization. “ They were heard.

Google, Facebook and Twitter, which are reflected for some time and had already discussed with the Minister of the Interior during the discussions on the draft intelligence law now looking to put it into practice. “We want the means to develop speech suit against French culture,” Benoît Tabaka advance, director of public policy at Google France. “We must help project carriers associations to bring out these speeches against” abounds his counterpart at Facebook, Delphine Reyre.

Google recalls the existence of the program Ad Grant that allows non-profit organizations to benefit from free advertising. Specifically a “advertising credit of 10 000 per month” . Facebook wants to subsidize the purchase of advertising space, as it could do in the fight against racism. Twitter offer “sponsored tweets”.

It is also necessary to create relevant content. The thirty associations present on Wednesday received advice to improve the design and dissemination. “There are specific to each service techniques, emphasized Delphine Reyre Facebook, we want to help organizations optimize their production. Tools are available to them to make them ramp up “ Two questions still outstanding. What content to promote? select which combinations?

This is the other objective of this day Wednesday. The net companies must identify civil society. “ The cons speech should not be .gouv.fr on a site, it is not efficient. It must be worn by a citizen movement “ suggests UDI Senator Nathalie Goulet, author of a report on radicalization and present in the offices of Google. Charline Delporte, president of the National Center of family support and training face the sectarian hold (Cafés), came from Lille to defend the idea of ​​a moderate against speech: “It makes us aware that young people full of ideals go [to jihad], that there is a minority of barbarians. “

“We must respect the intelligence of people who leave. Some have good intentions but war changes people, “ abounds journalist Wassim Nasr, an expert on jihadist movements in France 24. ” There is an ideological vacuum today from the last century ” he adds. What also relativized the role of the Internet as radicalization single lever. A new study by the Catholic University of Leuven and Ghent in Belgium, says: “Internet and social media are not the starting point of the process of radicalization of an individual. It is a facilitator who will be involved when the radicalization process has already begun. “
