Lukium: First, you brand your opponents as wicked, malicious, soulless. You tell the public they're "radicalized people," "terrorists," a "wicked ideology." You convince your followers that the very existence of the opposition is a mortal threat to family, to faith, to civilization itself. And there is only one final stop on that train. Dehumanization always has the same destination: extermination. read more

Senator Urges Valve to Address Extremist, Hateful' Content on Steam
Updated November 17, 2024

Sen. Mark Warner says lax enforcement of rules by social media platforms leads to toxic social environments that elevate harassment and abuse.'

Senator Mark Warner has urged leadership at Valve to respond to allegations that 1.8 million pieces of extremist or hateful content have been identified on gaming platform Steam.

In a recent report, the ADL's Center on Extremism (COE) claims to have identified 1.5 million unique users and over 73,000 groups who used at least one piece of potentially extremist or hateful content.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization founded to combat antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, claims it included more than 458 million profiles, 152 million profile and group avatar images, and 610 million comments in its dataset.

Pepe the Frog and swastikas are allegedly the most common extremist symbols spreading on the platform, accounting for 54.6% and 9.1% of the detected symbols, respectively.

The ADL claims it also identified 15,000 public accounts using symbols from ISIS, Hezbollah, and Hamas in their profile pics. The group also claims to have identified "hundreds of accounts" using images of terrorist attackers like Anders Breivik, who killed 69 people in an attack on a summer camp in Norway in 2011.

The organization also highlighted cases of users posting extremism-linked content on Steam before committing attacks of real-life violence, such as an 18-year-old white supremacist who attacked a cafe in Turkey in August. In addition, it found 18,352 groups that had potentially extremist or hateful keywords on their group profiles, such as "shekel" and "white power."
