Misinformation and the Alt-Right Pipeline

#1653551: Misinformation and the Alt-Right Pipeline

Description:	Join us for a discussion of how the rise of misinformation has paved the way for disinformation, especially through media outlets and politicians who fuel alt-right ideologies within the political landscape. A growing number of online figures promoting "traditional" and "disciplined" ideals are disseminating increasingly extremist and violent rhetoric. While this content may seem confined to niche areas of the internet, its implications extend into the real world and influence political dynamics. This hostile division is mainly appearing in democracies and is threatening democratic values. As our engagement with social media intensifies, it's crucial to understand both the mechanisms that draw individuals into this dangerous rhetoric and how we can disrupt the spiral down the alt-right pipeline. This discussion aims to address these pressing questions with experts in the field, exploring the causes and consequences of these ideologies. It will explore strategies to counter the alt-right’s threat to democracy and highlight the need to combat misinformation and its evolution into disinformation. Stay tuned for details of our panellists for the event.
