The internet has become a powerful tool for extremist groups to spread their ideologies and recruit vulnerable individuals. Online extremism can lead to real-world harm, including violence, social division, and the undermining of democratic values.

Because of the risk to individuals and society, it's crucial to understand how to identify extremist content online and know how to respond appropriately.
