<p>Amidst reinvigorated concerns over 'radicalization' and
domestic terrorism, Western governments are pursuing some of the most
drastic changes to national security legislation since 9/11. These
changes twin unprecedented technical capabilities with expanded legal
powers for security intelligence agencies and law enforcement. This talk
explores the most recent manifestations of pre-emptive
counter-terrorism measures in Canada, Australia, and the United States,
and unpacks their potential in the context of digital communication
environments. In particular, the talk highlights emergent challenges for
the administration of justice, democratic accountability, and human
rights regarding the policing of radicalization in online environments.</p>
