How does online hate fuel real-world violence? And how do offline events feed back into the digital space, amplifying division? In this episode of Zooming in on Hate, we explore the dangerous cycle between social media and the streets, where online disinformation and hate speech can spill over into riots, attacks, and public unrest. We take a deep dive into the Amsterdam riots, where online narratives rapidly escalated tensions, and examine how similar patterns played out in the UK riots of 2024, fuelled by misinformation on platforms like X and Telegram. Through data-driven analysis and a powerful interview with Iman Atta, Director of Tell MAMA UK, we break down the role of disinformation, political rhetoric, and online platforms in amplifying hate. And as always, we ask—what can be done? With the Digital Services Act (DSA) now in force, will regulation be enough to break this cycle, or do we need more? Join us as we unpack the real-world consequences of digital hate and discuss what’s next for online accountability.
