UK Faces Rising Terror Threat as Young People Access Extremist Material Online

Senior counter-terrorism officer Vicki Evans warns that the UK’s terror threat remains ‘smouldering’ with children as young as 10 viewing extreme online content. She highlights the alarming trend of young people being drawn into radicalization through easily accessible, violent material. Since 2017, police have disrupted 43 late-stage terror plots, with a significant number involving individuals radicalized online. Evans calls for collaboration with technology companies to mitigate the threat and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to counter these dangers.
