Digital Extremism—The Impact of Digital Extremism on Society and Possible Courses of Action for Civil Society
Extremist actors deliberately use the digital space to gain attention and influence through disinformation and provocations. As trust in the media and the government declines, polarization and social tensions appear to be on the rise. The presentation will therefore examine the effects of digital extremism on society and highlight possible courses of action for civil society.
Speaker: Hanna Denecke works at the Brandenburg Institute for Society and Security, where she oversees the projectRESONARE, which examines the risks and potential for escalation associated with information manipulation.
