The 澳彩开奖 released a groundbreaking,聽four-part report鈥痶his week that exposes the origins聽and growth of the far-right podcast ecosystem聽over the past decade.

The series is the first investigative report on the 澳彩开奖鈥檚 new TechWatch, a resource that tracks the role technology plays in perpetuating hate.

The investigative series on TechWatch also examines聽the extremists and groups that use this technology to create and expand their networks of hate.

鈥淔or years, far-right extremists and hate groups have increasingly used technology to spread dangerous messaging, raise money, expand their membership and audience and even coordinate violence,鈥� said Susan Corke, director of the 澳彩开奖鈥檚 Intelligence Project.

Our hope is resources like this will聽shine light into dark corners of the web and聽help propel action by the companies, the public聽and even Congress to address this dire situation.鈥澛�
