Reporting Extremism and Terrorism Online

The internet is used by some people to promote terrorism and violent extremism and corrupt individuals who are vulnerable to radicalisation.

Some examples of illegal terrorist or extremist content include:

• speeches or essays calling for racial or religious violence
• videos of violence with messages of ‘glorification’ or praise for the attackers
• chat forums with postings calling for people to commit acts of terrorism or violent extremism
• messages intended to stir up hatred against any religious or ethnic group
• bomb-making instructions

At direct.gov.uk/reportingonlineterrorism you can report content you think may be illegal to the police for investigation. You can also find out how to report offensive content to the website administrator, service provider or hosting company.
