TCO Cluster
The TCO Cluster is a group of European sibling projects funded under the same EU Call (ISF-2021-AG-TCO) working together to inform Hosting Service Providers (HSPs) in Europe about the new Regulation on Terrorist Content Online (TCO) and their new obligations. All three projects (ALLIES, FRISCO, TATE) will support HSPs with the development of tools to help report and remove content, while respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms.
