In the second episode of “The Far-Right is Rising”, host Reed Galen is joined by Yaёl Eisenstat, Vice President of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center for Technology & Society. They discuss the conditions that present the greatest risk for radicalization, the negligence of social media platforms when it comes to the spread of extremism and disinformation, and how the actions (or lack thereof) in the digital world often very tangibly make their mark on the analog world.
