Extremists use gaming platforms to recruit - study - ARU
The study shows that gaming-adjacent platforms, which allow users to chat and live stream while playing, are being used as “digital playgrounds” for extremist activity and that video game players are being deliberately “funnelled” by extremists from mainstream social media platforms to these sites, in part because of the challenges faced in moderating them.
Hmm, I've recently tried the WoW's Mists of Pandaria classic server, and the general chat was wild. Extremely racist and anti-woke.
I thought it's because of the demographic the classic servers target - nostalgia for people that are around their 40s now, but this may explain some of it.
