In connecting us, are social media also tearing society apart? How do trolls, conspiracy theories, memes and fringe platforms impact upon politics today? These are some of the pressing questions that will be central during the special live panel Radicalization by Design, presented by IMPAKT at the Ars Electronica festival (9-13 September 2020).
Richard Rogers (Professor New Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam), Sahana Udupa (Professor of Media Anthropology at LMU Munich), Bharath Ganesh (Assistant Professor Media Studies at University of Groningen), Marc Tuters (Assistant Professor, New Media and Culture, University of Amsterdam) and Arjon Dunnewind (General Director, Impakt) will discuss issues of freedom of speech, extreme speech and deplatforming. Check the the full programme on Impakt website.
