    extremely brief: Bigotry for Fun and Profit!

    Long, long ago—like 2013—going viral frequently meant being named, shamed and canceled. Remember the woman castigated for an "edgy" tweet over AIDS as she boarded a flight to South Africa, only to be fired before her plane touched down in Cape Town? These days, you're just as likely to receive accolades—and a nice, tidy payday—as you are to receive scorn. Join Oren and Jessica as they delve into the online riches of going bigotedly viral. extremely is a podcast from the ADL Center on Extremism.

In this episode of extremely, Oren and Jessica take stock of the numbers and speak with ADL staff nationwide who are fielding these incident reports on a daily basis. We dig into the on-the-ground impact—and outcomes—of some of the year's most notable cases. View or download ADL H.E.A.T.

    Preview: extremely brief

    On this inaugural episode of extremely brief, the letter 'A' is for accountability. First, we look at the pardon of approximately 1,500 January 6 insurrectionists, including roughly 200 who were directly convicted of instigating violence against law enforcement that day. Now out of prison, they are free to seek revenge, run for office or possibly just peruse their local library. Meta announced it was removing its agreement with a consortium of fact-checkers in favor of “community notes,” despite a documented trend that loosening moderation results in an increase in online hate. And what is the connection between last month's deadly school shootings in Nashville and Madison, Wis.? The shooters appear to have connected in the seamy online underground where violence and extremism fester. extremely brief is a podcast from the ADL Center on Extremism.
