→ The radicalisation spiral (£)
Sam Freedman on the high-speed pipeline that seeems to funnel certain people towards predominantly right-wing online propaganda:
“Over the last few years I’ve watched a disturbing number of people I used to know fall victim to the radicalisation spiral. It’s unnerving watching acquaintances who seemed relatively normal suddenly become obsessed with antivaxxer propaganda or start retweeting Tommy Robinson. I suspect many readers know someone, even if only tangentially, who’s disappeared down an online rabbit hole.”
