The FRISCO Best Practice Manual provides practical advice to help HSPs fulfill their obligations under the TCO Regulation, by: drafting terms of service and policy guidelines prohibiting terrorist content; designating a point of contact or legal representative; responding to removal orders; notifying users and establishing a complaint mechanism; putting in place specific measures; and drafting transparency report. The FRISCO Best Practice Manual was produced under Work Package 4 “Sharing of experiences, developing best practices and awareness raising” by our partners from Violence Prevention Network Arwa BEN AHMED and Rositsa DZHEKOVA.

The FRISCO Brochure provides a comprehensive overview of the technical tools and solutions available to HSPs to address the dissemination of terrorist content on their services and increase their compliance with the TCO Regulation : compliance tools, content moderation software, detection tool, hash-matching tools. The FRISCO Brochure was produced under Work Package 4 “Sharing of experiences, developing best practices and awareness raising” by our partners from Violence Prevention Network, with support of Tremau, IVSZ and Civipol.
