Exploiting digital (il)literacy: Extreme-right manipulations of the logics of search engines, search practices, and data voids

Research output: Other contribution › Web publication/Blog post › Popular science

Abstract

In this Medium contribution, we take a closer look at the potential of exploiting the ordinary user’s digital (il)literacy in their search practices. We explore how the logic of search engines, and missing or low-quality data are vulnerable to extreme-right manipulations.
