Op-ed published in Scotsman on the Rise of Far-Right Extremism in Scotland

Yesterday I had an op-ed published in The Scotsman. In ‘Social media isn’t solely to blame for rise of far-right’, I argue for a holistic approach. It’s too easy to pin the blame solely on online platforms that amplify hate and misinformation. Politicians need to dial down the rhetoric on issues like immigration. It’s time to focus on why right-wing extremism resonates with young people rather than solely blame social media algorithms.

Many thanks to Charlotte Morris for helping arrange this. It can be read in full here.
