❗ Are the UK's online moderation systems crisis-ready?

Recent Demos research exposed how the community-based moderation tool 'Community Notes' failed to prevent harmful content and #misinformation from rapidly gaining millions of views over the course of the 2024 #SouthportRiots.

‘Two out of every five people arrested after participating in last summer’s riots had been previously reported to the police for domestic abuse, the Guardian can disclose. Police data released under freedom of information (Fol) laws shows that 41% of 899 people arrested for taking part in the violent disorder last July and August had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence.

The Weaponisation of AI: Visual storytelling of the Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory Amid the Southport Riots - GNET

What role did AI and visual storytelling play in the #SouthportRiots last summer?

@beatrizlbuarque.bsky.social examines how algorithmic systems of recommendation and GenAI tools were weaponised to inflame and mobilise.

Comment: Last summer’s riots could erupt again without sustained action on cohesion The anniversary of the riots offers Starmer another opportunity to voice a more coherent public narrative

It's funny listening to MP claiming what #Kneecap did was dangerous & might lead to MP being killed? May I refer you back to #SouthportRiots & some MP were openly suggesting there was a conspiracy & cover-up. Actually stoking the riots, those MP are still in Parliament.

The myth of “Two-tier policing” has been circulating since the #SouthportRiots.

Partner, Raj Chada writes into @lbc.co.uk to debunk the idea that ethnic minorities are receiving preferential treatment in the courts. A dangerous far-right fantasy intended to divide us further.

Why should 'influencers' get away with the lies that made Southport burn? - Vox Political Why should 'influencers' get away with the lies that made Southport burn? Here’s why regulation is essential

Southport burned because of a lie. Now the truth is out, but the liars still have their platforms

Why are the people who started the fire still allowed to play with matches?

From Lizzie Dearden's thread:

"He was lucky not to be charged with anything more serious. McIntyre explicitly called for the murder of Hope Not Hate founder Nick Lowles, saying anyone who killed him would be a "hero""
