The ALLIES Project aims to equip micro and small Hosting Service Providers (HSPs) with the necessary tools and guidance to comply with the stringent requirements under the Terrorist Content Online (TCO) Regulation. The ALLIES project final event will bring together key stakeholders, including HSPs, Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs), National Authorities, technical companies and sister projects, for an in-depth exploration of the regulatory, operational, and technological landscape in which HSPs operate.
This event will focus on presenting the innovative AI-based solutions developed through the ALLIES project, designed to enhance detection and reporting mechanisms for illegal content while addressing the specific needs and limitations of small HSPs. Highlights will include demonstrations of advanced tools and frameworks developed by ALLIES, and how this integrates with existing tools. Discussions will explore collaborative strategies among stakeholders to strengthen compliance with the TCO Regulation and bolster a safer online environment across Europe.
Attendees will gain insights into the synergies created with the TATE and FRISCO projects, which further support the development of resilient infrastructures for content moderation and compliance. The event aims to foster dialogue on sustainable practices, cross-sector partnerships, and the future roadmap for EU-compliant content management within the hosting service sector.
