TRT World Roundtable: This episode of Roundtable explores the rise of extremism in online gaming platforms such as Twitch, Discord, and Steam. These platforms allow users to live-stream game playing, chat, and connect globally and anonymously but there is little regulation, nor it seems, an appetite to improve moderation practices. We look at ways extremists try to connect with users, spread harmful ideologies and why it is beneficial for parents to get a better understanding of what their children are doing in the online gaming world.
Joining Enda Brady to discuss the growing threats in digital spaces are; William Allchorn [Senior Research Fellow at Anglia Ruskin University], Bill Mew [Global Cyber Ambassador for the International Association for Risk and Crisis Communication], Mary-Ann Russon [Tech Journalist] and Peter Warren [Chairperson of the Cyber Security Research Institute].
