Welcome to the Holiday special of Zooming in on Hate.
This past year has been a turmoil of events. And some pretty dark ones at that. We started the year off in a lockdown, of course there is still a war raging in Ukraine, there have been multiple hate crime shootings all over the world, and people are facing a cost of living crises we haven’t seen in years, wondering if they can even heat their homes this winter.
Normally we would zoom in on those topics.. But this time, in the spirit of the holidays, we’re going to look at some positive stories for a change.
Working in the field of hate speech, disinformation and radicalisation we get confronted with the darkest parts of the world wide web. So, it's important to be reminded about the happy, wholesome and inspiring parts from time to time. That’s why we invited Toon Vos to join us today, to talk about the positive sides of the internet.
Toon Vos is both a writer and a designer, and has recently produced a wonderful special series titled the Wholesome Wide Web. The Wholesome Wide Web is a voyage to the online strongholds where people come together to meet, talk, share, and play. Places where the promise of the internet is alive and kicking.
