As a computer scientist who loves Cryptography but is sceptical about the Cryptocurrency space this article almost perfectly represents my feelings and gives a beginner friendly overview into the technical details of WHY the Crypto space isn’t as decentralised as some may claim


Pleased to have had a small part to play in this project (all before I had even finished my Masters Thesis). Very interesting to see the differences between how ideologies communicate online. This experience will be very useful for me going forward in my PhD.

A big thank you to all the partners involved in this project. These included @MoonshotTeam @Hedayah_CVE and @Europol. A special thank you to @techvsterrorism, whose excellent #OSINT team collected all the data for us to analyse.

I think the thing to take from this isn't that 'we should extend the logic of racial essentialism to white people', but that violence, misogyny, and fantasies of purpose need in-group identities, special language, and subcultural norms in order to draw people in.

Interesting article, certainly doesn’t jive with my experience of YouTube. Expect that ‘radicalisation’ is more likely to occur to younger viewers. What was the minimum age in the panels? Similarly the lack of mobile data is a significant flaw. wired.com/story/youtube-…

If YouTube Algorithms Radicalize Users, Data Doesn’t Show It

New research tracking people’s behavior on the platform found that most don’t go down those ever-deepening rabbit holes.
