"A suite of recent troubling events have once again shone a spotlight on
extremist violence, especially the kind involving online radicalisation of
young people.
Austrian authorities recently cancelled three Taylor Swift
Eras tour concerts
after learning of a 19-year-old’s suspected plot to attack attendees at a
Vienna stadium.
ASIO Chief Mike Burgess has warned more young people are radicalising online
and that we are seeing an acceleration of internet-fuelled violent extremism.
“The internet can grab people quickly and hurt young brains which are not fully
formed,” he said. “You can fall down a rabbit hole of hate quickly.”
So, why is this happening and what can we do to curb it?"
