Taken to Extremes: Online Radicalism, Polarization, and Youth

Social media algorithms and other digital media are contributing towards increased online and offline polarization and extremism for both youth and adults - from political conspiracy theories to white nationalism and climate change debate. What can parents, educators, and communities do to increase awareness and prevent children from falling into polarizing echo chambers or interacting in radical online spaces?

Join Children and Screens on Wednesday March 15 for our next #AskTheExperts webinar “Taken to Extremes: Online Radicalism, Polarization and Youth.” A panel of investigative researchers, thought leaders, and advocates with expertise in online extremism will share examples of the digital mechanisms by which extremists target and capture the attention of youth, how media is impacting polarization around the world, and what steps could be taken to limit the features of digital media that contribute most to extremism in youth.
