Preventing Violent Extremism

How do extremist discourses threaten democracy and what can people do about it? 

In this session, we consider how white nationalist ideology is expressed online in ways that people may not, at first, recognize as dangerous and discuss ways to balance the need for public safety with the rights of free expression.
