When a Swedish reporter goes undercover online to investigate how the far right proliferates through social media, she infiltrates a white supremacist group and doggedly pursues its shape-shifting leader across the internet.
Award-winning reporter My Vingren uses fake profiles to expose how extremist movements are using social media to recruit and radicalise. Her investigations connect her with experts on the way that social media platforms profit from hate, including the whistleblower instrumental in Twitter’s suspension of Donald Trump and a researcher sued by Elon Musk for exposing increasing hate speech on X.
Bringing these interviews together with the twists and turns of Vingren’s online investigations, Hacking Hate becomes an eye-opening insight into the darkest corners of the internet and the spread of extreme and authoritarian agendas online.
