Levar capacitação em prevenção da radicalização online e do extremismo violento, com foco no reconhecimento de sinais críticos e na compreensão do cenário atual, é fundamental — e receber um feedback tão generoso do público torna tudo ainda mais gratificante. 💙

I am deeply grateful to everyone who accepted our invitation
mine, Dr. Pablo Ortellado’s, the Institute for Advanced Studies at USP, and the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee’s.
Six years ago, when I spoke about all our gaps in this field, I never imagined we would be able to bridge one of them

And the closing session featured Senator Alessandro Vieira, in an incredible and thoughtful conversation about our challenges and gaps in this field.
Also present, as my guest, was the mother of Nicolly Pogere, the young girl who was murdered in July by a couple of teenagers also radicalized online.

He opened the seminar.
Then came our academic panel with me, Dr. Telma Vinha, and researcher Ricardo Cabral Penteado, who presented both the fantastic project from his doctoral thesis, BRECHO, and data from our report mapping Brazilian neo-Nazi NSBM bands.
