WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th November, 2018) Canada is turning to an organization named Moonshot CVE to deploy on-line advertising techniques in an attempt to prevent radicalization of potential terrorists, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Ralph Goodale said in a press release on Tuesday.
"Moonshot's Redirect Method detects signs of high risk of radicalization to violence based on online search queries," the release said. "The technique, termed the 'Redirect Method,' uses online advertising tools and internet video channels to direct individuals to content created by credible third parties that challenge ideologies that can motivate destructive attitudes and behavior."
Goodale announced a $1.5 million grant to Moonshot CVE, which claims to have developed an "innovative, internationally-tested online method of countering radicalization" that will complement other Canadian terror fighting efforts.
The initiative will not identify or track individuals in order to comply with Canadian privacy laws, the release said.
