OK I have seen it all now. The Register are reporting that:
The Office of Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT), a 200-strong Home Office unit created 18 months ago, has said in meetings it wants to “flood the internet” with “positive” interpretations of Islam. It plans to train government-approved groups in search engine optimisation techniques, which it’s hoped will boost their profile online and battle radicalisation.
I am not saying that is wrong. It is arguably the right thing to do for any organisation, whether comercial or governmental – that being that YOUR message is delivered in the manner you want it to be but unless they are led effectively they will get it wrong, it will backfire and risks of highlighting further areas of terror indoctrination by extremists may occur.
OSCT I suggest you get in touch as if you go down this route without the best advice you’ll beneck deep in poo!
