Social media companies are increasingly targeting extremist far-right material online, while being dragged into a culture war with mainstream conservatism.
But those involved said they are clear-eyed about resistance from the right of the political spectrum, where fringe figures and groups mix with extremists in a murky milieu of conspiracy theories and radicalization.
Any governmental buy-in to new restrictions online will have to overcome the politicization of online free speech, an issue that populist leaders in the U.S. and Europe have identified as red meat for their voter base.Matthew Feldman, the director of the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right and a professorial fellow at the University of York in the U.K., is one of the organizers of the event in Bergen, Norway.
Western governments have broadly failed to treat far-right extremism with the severity it deserves. Intelligence agencies and judicial systems spent decades focused on Islamic extremism while the far-right metastasized in the background. John Woodcock, Baron Walney, is a British politician serving as the U.K. government's independent adviser on political violence and disruption. Woodcock is currently preparing a landmark report on the issue, which will consider political violence from across the political spectrum.that Western governments have been too slow to face the problem of far-right extremism. Many wanted to see far-right attacks as aberrations or anomalies, he said.
This"post-organizational far-right," as Woodcock described it,"shows the power of information channels, and their ability to quite quickly solidify an alternative reality to a significantly large population."in North America and Europe also showed"a transatlantic transnational currency for some of this stuff on the far right," Woodcock said.that governments"of course have a particular responsibility in addressing radicalization and extremism.
