Google: "Hate “Clusters” Spread Disinformation Across Social media. Mapping Their Networks Could Disrupt Their Reach.

The study found two platforms emerged as the core of the network: Telegram and VKontakte. These were the only two platforms with connections to all of the others, and the most diverse representation of languages. A number of clusters were multilingual with some acting as repositories for translations of English extremist content into other languages. There were strong links between English, German, and Spanish clusters."

Google’s Jigsaw proposes real-time, cross-platform monitoring of “hate clusters” to “disrupt their reach”
Google's researchers aren't happy that users are migrating to platforms that don't censor "misinformation."...

Now, a new post from Google’s Jigsaw unit, which “explores threats to open societies and builds technology that inspires scalable solutions”, is recommending that users of these platforms should be surveilled across platforms in real-time, so that they can be more easily be blocked from sharing links to “harmful content.”

These staggering statistics come from a new report https://jigsaw.google.com/the-current/shutdown released Wednesday by Access Now and Jigsaw, a division of Alphabet that focuses on addressing societal threats with technology. The report documents the history of internet shutdowns over the last decade, the economic toll shutdowns take on the countries that impose them and what governments and the broader business and civil society community can do to stop what has fast become a widespread and grave human rights violation.
