Politics of Deliberate Inaction: The disconnect between platform justifications and user imaginaries on content moderation in a ‘free speech’ online forum. https://t.co/rWzHXdq24a

It also discusses how Flashback maintains these policies through its community’s active encouragement via supportive posting and silencing of non-conformers, and the consequences that Flashback’s inaction has in terms of residual hate.

I have a new paper out in New Media & Society:
"Politics of Deliberate Inaction: The disconnect between platform justifications and user imaginaries on content moderation in a ‘free speech’ online forum" https://t.co/EoSXYdhYdX @digsum

[mathilda @mathildakerlund]

Refugees versus ‘refugees’: the role of Islamophobia in Swedish alternative media’s reporting on Ukrainian asylum seekers. https://t.co/cTEfT5ngYg

[MCS Journal @MCSjournal]

In this new #OnlineFirst article, Amanda Palmgren, Mathilda Åkerlund, and Lisen Viklund analyse how immigrants are understood by Swedish alternative media and the role that #Islamophobia plays, if at all, in these representations. https://t.co/Kc45rnFWko

I am grateful to the two reviewers for their insightful comments on my paper

[mathilda @mathildakerlund]

My new paper on the paradoxical representation of Sweden by the US far right is now out open access in @scmrjems https://t.co/QgchDaa2pM

[mathilda @mathildakerlund]

...in ways that highly resembled those of the European far right. Such framing helps the international far right form a coherent narrative and all-applicable template for the problems of Muslims facing the Western world.
