[Air-L] : question on data policy for research on extremist social media content

[Maura Conway]

Hi Catherine (and All),

This is actually a legal issue that's heavily dependent on the jurisdiction
in which you find yourself. In the EU, probably the most restrictive
context--or the one in which one needs to be most mindful--is the UK. A
useful perspective on holding and accessing extremist and terrorist content
within that jurisdiction is this Universities UK document:
https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/policy-and-analysis/reports/Pages/security-sensitive-research-material-UK-universities-guidance.aspx
.

The Researcher Resources section of the VOX-Pol website may also be useful,
esp. if you're interested also in some of the broader ethics issues
pertaining in this area; see  https://www.voxpol.eu/researcher-resources/.

Best,
Maura
