Using expert researchers and software designed to search 20+ unmoderated online platforms, Director of Research Cathy Buerger is leading a novel effort to find and analyze dangerous speech as it emerges, and share the information with counterspeakers and others countering hatred.

The Coalition for Independent Technology Research, which we co-founded, filed a lawsuit challenging Texas' TikTok ban. We argue that the ban violates the constitutional rights of public university professors. https://dangerousspeech.org/to-protect-people-from-tiktok-dont-ban-it-study-it/

This week, we asked the court to block the ban while the case is pending.
