January 6th series
In the years since the January 6 Capitol insurrection, the landscape of extremism in the US and abroad has shifted. Groups, networks and movements continue to take advantage of social media platforms to recruit and amplify their messaging. Old narratives are repackaged to fit the issues of the day, and new narratives are crafted to capitalize on emerging trends. To mark the second anniversary of the Capitol riot, ISD has launched a 6-part series exploring notable themes following the attack, including accountability for big tech, extremists’ digital footprints, and the projected landscape of election denialism. Publications will be added to this page as they become available.
