Criminal groups operate globally and across platforms, their behaviours exhibiting violence, abuse and evasion of financial controls. It’s clear that, in the words of Coolio, they are chasing the “power and the money, money and the power, minute after minute, hour after hour.” The real-world harm their presence poses on-platform includes incitement and recruitment, and glorification remains a concern too. Yet, when we see discussions about the power of platform policy designations – including in the news media - the focus tends to be on violent extremist groups, in isolation. Drawing on case studies from different markets across APAC, this panel discussion will address questions ranging from: how do we prioritise criminal organisation designations? What does good practice engagement look like in communicating our decisions with critical stakeholders? How should we communicate the work TnS professionals do in this area, to our users and to the public? We welcome engagement, thoughts and questions on this topic which touches on core harms of concern to TnS practitioners in APAC and everywhere.
