<< I spent a good part of 2 years reporting on ISIS internet and how the group uses social media — in 2019 it's mind-boggling to me how well the coordinated cross-platform effort to remove them from the internet worked and how there hasn't been a similar one for white supremacists.>>
ISIS vs white supremacist internet
<< From a 2016 @gwupoe report on Twitter extremism: "The white nationalist datasets examined outperformed ISIS in most current metrics and many historical metrics. White nationalists and Nazis had substantially higher follower counts than ISIS supporters, and tweeted more often.">>

#WhiteSupremacist instead are #MilkingCows like others. They can be surveilled and manipulated.
Moreover, in #Italy during the #ColdWar, the USA intelligence leart how useful rigth extremists can be (and how easy they are to manipulate, decades before #EchoChambers were conceived) to cause tensions and fear, useful to restrict people's #freedom and #privacy.
