Extremism and radicalization

The process by which individuals adopt increasingly extreme ideologies or engage in violent extremism, often mediated through online communities. Research examines how online platforms enable radicalization pathways, community formation, and coordination of extremist actors. Fringe Web communities (imageboards, restricted subreddits, Gab) serve as incubators for radical political ideologies, anti-semitic and racist content, and coordinated harassment.
