Hi Paul, thank you for your thoughts. Do you know if there’s any way to know whether you’re on any lists? (I didn’t know they kept one, but makes total sense). just learning here

That’s indeed the issue too.. Thanks for being part of the conversation Andrea (ps your work looks fantastic!)

Researcher Cas Mudde, I believe, compiled a list here on blue sky..

I completely agree with this. I’m European too and my heart breaks for our brothers and sisters here that are being so let down :( I’m sorry

(Thanks for this one, kind stranger ✨)

Thank you, Maddin! ✍️ super helpful!

That’s not what I was suggesting at all, but I understand that’s how online debates go. I appreciate you engaging anyway :) and respect your thoughts and decision

Thank you, Hannah. Appreciate you thinking along ✨

Generally agree, but life is complex right? People come here for all kinds of reasons — work, family etc. and need time for situations to change. So I think it’s helpful to gather up some strategies for us all to use

I guess my main question is what does this mean for the rest of us, too. I'm a European working on right wing conspiracy culture with a long list of publications and travel a lot back and from. Should we see this as an isolated event, is this meant to instill fear? Help me make sense, kind strangers

When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

The biographical trajectories of YouTube conspiracy theory micro-celebrities Social media platforms like YouTube are often seen as gateways for the spread of conspiracy theories. While much of the research has focused on why people consume conspiracy theory content, little ...

Fragile values In October, I started working on a new research project delving into the muddy waters of content moderation on tech platforms.

The ‘prioritization of speech’ over the protection of the most vulnerable users is reflective of the widespread, cross-national right-wing turn in politics (sigh…).
