Several recent flashpoints in Malaysia have shown how quickly online outrage can spiral beyond the digital sphere.
A new report on Far-Right Extremism and Tech Accountability in Malaysia takes a closer look at how far-right narratives are spreading in the country’s digital space, and what role tech platforms may be playing.
How do online narratives escalate into real-world consequences, and what can be done to stop that cycle? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Suyin Chia, the research director of Initiave.my, an organisation seeking to promote tolerance and prevent violence, and Aziff Azuddin, the research director of Iman Research, a think tank focused on security, peacebuilding and community development.
