Press: Nahema Marchal quoted in Politico on ‘Post-election, extremists use fringe social networks to push fraud claims, violence’

The messages are running wild on smaller fringe networks popular among the far right — then boomeranging back onto the mainstream platforms.

“Fringe networks have become central to how extreme groups mobilize online, They’ve attracted hordes of people who think the major platforms are censoring them.”
