Transatlantic Working Group

The Transatlantic Working Group examines how efforts by government and platforms to moderate online content -- and curb hate speech, terrorism, and viral deception -- have been flawed.

The Transatlantic High Level Working Group on Content Moderation Online and Freedom of Expression held its inaugural meeting at Ditchley Park, the historic U.K. estate.

Freedom of speech must be protected even as governments and industries seek to reduce hate speech and disinformation, the Transatlantic High-Level Working Group on Content Moderation and Freedom of Expression (TWG) said following the group’s initial meeting.

The new Transatlantic Working Group aims to address harmful content online -- hate speech, violent extremism, and viral deception -- while protecting freedom of speech and preserving a vibrant global internet.
