Amid the recent upsurge in traffic garnered by UpScrolled, @kjallen.bsky.social focuses on the upload of right-wing accelerationist content on the platform, analysing how the extent and severity of the content highlight critical failures in moderating violent extremist discourse.

Drawing on my research about the prospect of ‘chatbot radicalisation’ and the ‘terrorist chatbot’ for @gnetresearch.bsky.social, I did an interview with Jonathan Gibson at The Dispatch (@thedispatchmedia.bsky.social) for his fascinating story on the subject. thedispatch.com/article/ai-r...

Recently published a piece with @e-international.bsky.social about misdirected efforts to blame video games for the bombing of a school in Jakarta earlier this month. www.e-ir.info/2025/11/25/v...

Policymakers and authorities should pay attention to the influence that extreme right-wing views and meme subcultures may carry online but they must move beyond long-discredited myths.

Community-building is an intrinsic and highly positive feature of games like #Arma. Yet, hateful or extremist actors can lead it astray, in conjunction with the capacity to modify or ‘mod’ the game. @kjallen.bsky.social explores the Arma gaming series and these associated challenges.
