Early #internetfreedom advocate and activist David Duke cited by @JessieNYC #digisoc #vcusocy #whitesupremacy #racism
many tech critics outside (and inside) the academy "prefer not to" think and write about race @JessieNYC @SociologyatVCU #digisoc #digsoc #vcusocy #racism #BartlebytheGeek
How did we get to this new iteration of the alt-right? Some people point to a crisis of White identity. Some point to the internet and 'filter bubbles' where people only talk to like-minded others. @JessieNYC says we need to think about race AND tech. #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
Here we go! Follow along with @JessieNYC's talk, "Echoes of White Nationalism," via the YouTube livestream (https://t.co/kniCvcL4YH) or using the hashtags #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
And with this answer -- that's it! We've reached the end of this digital sociology chat. Look for the recording to be available soon. Thanks to those who submitted questions, and to @tressiemcphd @JessieNYC @dgolumbia for their time and thoughts. #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
Huge shout out from @JessieNYC to @safiyanoble for her book, "Algorithms of Oppression." #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy #requiredreading https://t.co/GOGL4GjyBF
"We need to begin naming what's happening. People who are designing and implementing these platforms truly believe themselves to be in a place absent of race. That's where to begin." @JessieNYC #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy https://t.co/BjpI3RNGsc
.@JessieNYC also recommends this book about lynching photographs by Dora Apel and Shawn Michelle Smith: https://t.co/zwzHJe7KmR #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy

"Maybe, just maybe, it feels better [for extremists] to be racist than it feels to be not racist." @tressiemcphd #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
"Extremists love to say 'it's just ideas, counter me with more speech,' but they are very clearly taking bodily pleasure from it." @dgolumbia #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
"Even in the framing of 'the marketplace of ideas,' there are only two things: economic transactions and ideas. There are no people." @tressiemcphd #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
"If there is anything our judgement should be for, it's for being able to say Nazi speech is no good. If we can't judge that, then ...." --@dgolumbia #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
"In a post-Trump moment, countries care just a little less about where the US is leading, or not leading." -- @tressiemcphd "Tech companies are dithering." -- @JessieNYC #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
Later tonight, @JessieNYC will be talking about her forthcoming book, Tweetstorm, about "an emerging media landscape that's changing and creating opportunities for white nationalists to spread their ideology." #digsoc #digisoc #vcusocy
