Accelerationism and Platform-Sponsored Terror in the Age of Social Media

This session introduces accelerationist movements across social media and their role in instigating terror, “memetic warfare,” and viral insurgency.  We introduce attendees to new methods to capture the dynamics of these groups, their histories and expose their innovative strategies which take advantage of social media to catalyze new modes of violence.
