The real question is how these rulings will be borrowed, repurposed, and enforced beyond the US.

On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we join her call for platforms to act and be held accountable.

Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s Former Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, joins CSOH in highlighting how social media platforms are putting Muslims in harm’s way by allowing harmful content that dehumanizes and incites violence to spread unchecked.

The US-Israel War on Iran and the Rise in Hate Against Muslim Americans The US-Israel war on Iran triggered a sharp surge in anti-Muslim hate online. This data brief examines Islamophobic discourse, documenting patterns of dehumanization and incitement.

Recommendations: www.csohate.org/2026/03/09/u...

Following the US-Israel war on Iran, dehumanization and incitement targeting Muslim Americans across social media platforms has surged.

Our latest data brief documents what’s happening and what must be done. For platforms, policymakers, and civil society, this is a call to act.

White supremacist content is increasingly shaping extremist ecosystems far beyond West.

CSOH’s Pravin Prakash spoke to Reuters about how disillusioned teens across Southeast Asia are being drawn into a nihilistic worldview through white supremacist content online.

“This narrative aligns with the pro-monarchy position of Nepal’s Rastriya Praja Party and stands in contrast to domestic demands for strengthening democratic institutions,” Nilafdeen told AFP.

“We are also seeing ideological pushes. After the Gen Z-led revolution in 2025, online narratives amplified by Hindu far-right supporters in India promoted the restoration of monarchy in Nepal.”

CSOH Researcher Ammaarah Nilafdeen spoke with the AFP News Agency and said that “cross-border disinformation remains a top concern that could undermine the integrity of the election process.”

Slick AI-generated disinformation has inundated Nepal’s election campaign ahead of Thursday’s vote, the first national polls since deadly protests, sparked by a brief social media ban, that culminated in the government’s overthrow.

Earlier this week in Brussels, @evianeleidig.com spoke on a panel at the one day symposium “Where We Stand: Gender, Language, & the Politics of Hate.” The panel examined how extremist narratives about gender are increasingly normalized in everyday discourse, driven & amplified by online algorithms.

How Algorithmic Design of Tech Platforms Normalizes Gendered Violence AI-generated sexual deepfakes are industrializing gender-based violence at scale, exposing how platform design and profit incentives enable abuse.

Generative AI tools are scaling image-based sexual abuse, transforming gendered violence into a high-speed, high-volume digital economy. Platform incentives, algorithmic amplification & regulatory gaps are enabling proliferation of this harm.

A three-column table analysing extremist signalling in podcast content. The first column lists rhetorical techniques, the second describes specific podcast content examples, and the third maps each technique to white supremacist, violent extremist, or far-right signalling as identified by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) and the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC). Techniques documented include overt adoption of Great Replacement Theory terminology, demographic replacement framing, selective use of mainstream research, birth rate anxiety, remigration advocacy, denaturalisation and deportation arguments, anti-Muslim dog-whistling, racialised language in political argument, ethno-nationalist citizenship frameworks, and strategic use of indigenous rights. Podcast content examples reference named individuals including De Boer, McGimpsey, and Rupert Lowe. The third column cross-references each technique with ISD and SPLC definitions of extremist ideology, including references to the Eurabia narrative, ethnic cleansing through remigration, and ethno-nationalist conceptions of citizenship.

The podcast featured sustained pattern of ideological promotion drawing on techniques captured in SPLC research, & aligned with what the ISD flags as core architecture of Great Replacement thinking, incl. in 'remigration' narrative.

India’s Global AI Pitch Masks A Troubling Reality At Home Without regulatory oversight and guardrails, AI in India will continue to function less as a public good and more as a tool of oppression, writes Tavishi.

India's AI Impact Summit is framed around “democratizing AI.” But as India expands AI-driven surveillance, predictive policing, and welfare automation, minorities and marginalized communities are bearing the costs, writes Tavishi.

Anti-South Asian racism shows no signs of abating.

A new report by The New York Times, which also features our research, takes a deeper look at what’s driving this surge in anti–South Asian bigotry.
