Filter bubbles and free speech

Gideon has a conversation with Dr Joe Whittaker, a Lecturer in Cyber Threats, Criminology, Sociology and Social Policy at Swansea University. They talk about the trajectory of Joe's PhD work on the online behaviours of Islamic State terrorists in the US leading to his current research on how social media platforms’ recommendation systems promote and amplify extreme far-right content, as well as publishing on topics such as counter-narratives.

We hope you enjoy the conversation!
