      SOMETHING TERRIBLE I'VE BEEN WORKING ON: I wrote about how history-themed Facebook groups have become havens for racism content https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2019/06/history-themed-facebook-groups-have-become-magnet-racist-content …

      An interesting element of Facebook as a whole is that so few young people use it these days, which sort of turns it into a blogging platform for right-wing white boomers. That might explain how so many groups can descend to this with relative ease: https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2019/06/history-themed-facebook-groups-have-become-magnet-racist-content …

      Often posts aren't explicitly using a slur or racist imagery, but the racism still, uh, jumps out https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2019/06/history-themed-facebook-groups-have-become-magnet-racist-content …pic.twitter.com/t6hngnnhdC

          Great story - very familiar with much of this - 18 months of working in regional news and using those kind of groups daily. There's one I often used which featured regular posts from the former chairman of the National Front.
