Anti-Defamation League Says Extremism Going Mainstream Online

November 03, 2022

Oren Segal is an expert on extremism. As vice president of the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) Center on Extremism, he and his team work tirelessly to understand and combat extremism, terrorism and all forms of hate in the real world and online.

The center provides resources and training to enable law enforcement, public officials and internet and technology companies to identify and counter emerging threats. It gathers data, analyzes it looking for trends, and disseminates its findings to the world, helping inform policy and action in a variety of settings.

After 24 years of being embedded in the darkest corners of the internet, Segal is concerned that many of the attitudes, beliefs and conspiracy-driven narratives of violent extremism are emerging from the darkness and repeated as truth, in public for all to hear.
