Abstract

This chapter discusses the recent boldness of American white supremacist groups, which allowed antiracists to keep tabs on their growth and activities with remarkable success. It refers to the moves of social media platform companies which aim to stem the distribution of white supremacist propaganda on their services. It also points out how impossible it is to filter and moderate content on a global scale, given all the conflicting values at work and the diversity of human relationships. The chapter analyzes how Facebook fools people into thinking that problems can be addressed by harnessing individual donations into some impressive grand total, without any sense of what difference that money makes over the long term. It outlines the difficulties Facebook created in convening and addressing challenges with agreed-upon facts and shared agendas.
