As a computer scientist who loves Cryptography but is sceptical about the Cryptocurrency space this article almost perfectly represents my feelings and gives a beginner friendly overview into the technical details of WHY the Crypto space isn’t as decentralised as some may claim

Pleased to have had a small part to play in this project (all before I had even finished my Masters Thesis). Very interesting to see the differences between how ideologies communicate online. This experience will be very useful for me going forward in my PhD.

@DotJason1 Any negative uses of statistics are an application of the statistical concept. Any negative uses of this tech come from using the tech as it is designed. I’m not sure that this tech in particular shouldn’t have been made but we should be held responsible for how our tech is used.

@DotJason1 In your statistics example, since statistics is more of a framework / concept than a technology I’m not sure the comparison is directly applicable. However, yes, both positive and negative uses of a technology should be considered and how easy those uses are should be considered

I think the thing to take from this isn't that 'we should extend the logic of racial essentialism to white people', but that violence, misogyny, and fantasies of purpose need in-group identities, special language, and subcultural norms in order to draw people in.

@HKesvani I mean arguably the term terrorist is too pejorative to really have any meaningful usage as a term anyway.

Interesting article, certainly doesn’t jive with my experience of YouTube. Expect that ‘radicalisation’ is more likely to occur to younger viewers. What was the minimum age in the panels? Similarly the lack of mobile data is a significant flaw. wired.com/story/youtube-…
