Jonas Kaiser on The Dark Side of the Networked Public Sphere

Published: Feb. 5, 2018, 4:34 p.m.

b'In this talk, Berkman Klein affiliate Jonas Kaiser shares some of his research on the networked public sphere. "The right-wing is rising. Not only in the United States but also in Germany and other European countries. And the internet helped," he writes. "Right-wing actors are active all over the internet, adapt to platforms, game the system, blur the lines between off- and online, and create their own virtual spaces. In addition, social media platforms like YouTube contribute involuntarily to the right-wing\'s reach and, perhaps, influence with their algorithms." In this talk Kaiser will explore these issues and potential ways forward.\\n\\nMore info on this event here:\\nhttps://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018/luncheon/01/Kaiser'
