(This session is held in English)

Anonymous, the anonymous far right, QAnon: all three movements or trends cannot be explained without reference to the anonymous image boards like 4chan, 8chan, and others from which they partly came. How are we to make sense of the differences (and similarities) between such different political manifestations? In this talk I will focus on digital extreme right and cull out their differences and similarities to the hacktivists Anonymous as a means to maps some contemporary trends in digital politics and reflect on how scholars, journalists, and advocates should approach and think about anonymous image boards as vital sites for political organization.

Open interview with Carlos del Castillo. Journalist specialized in digital rights and social implications of technology.
