Abstract

The rise of far-right movements globally, exemplified by the Identitarian Movement, underscores the significance of social media in political mobilization and ideological dissemination. This research addresses the question: How does the Identitarian Movement utilize social media affordances to propagate its ideologies transnationally? Through a qualitative case study approach, this study analyzes secondary data from reports, books, and academic databases, focusing on the Identitarian Movement's strategic use of platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Telegram. The findings reveal that the movement exploits social media affordances of visibility, editability, persistence, and association to craft and disseminate high-impact, visually appealing content designed to engage and radicalize audiences. The "Defend Europe" campaign is highlighted as a significant example of these strategies in action. The author argues that understanding these digital tactics is crucial for comprehending the global spread of far-right ideologies and for developing effective counter-extremism strategies. The study concludes that the Identitarian Movement's adept use of social media not only enhances their reach but also solidifies their influence across national borders, posing substantial challenges to democratic institutions and social cohesion.

Abstract

This research delves into the complexities of social media's role as a platform for communication, examining how it facilitates the spread of radical ideologies while simultaneously serving as a space for deradicalization. Through a comprehensive literature review, the researchers aim to combine existing findings with fresh insights employong qualitative analyses. Central to the study is the application of the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), which posits that users actively select content based on specific needs and desires. By applying UGT, the research seeks to uncover the underlying motivations driving users to engage with extremist content on social media, offering a nuanced perspective on the platform's societal influence and potential implications for policy and platform modifications. The study employing comprehensive literature reviewmethodology, the research collects and analyzes a wide range of scholarly articles, reports, and relevant sources to provide a comprehensive overview of how social media contributes to the disemination of radical views. Based on the findings, Social media platforms, through their algorithm-driven content curation and interactive community structures, create environments where radical ideologies are normalized and amplified within echo chambers, subtly increasing the likelihood of real-world radicalization. Media consumers, guided by the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), actively shape their content experiences on platforms like X, Facebook, and Youtube. However, the platforms’designs and algorithms can inadvertently drive radicalization. Countermeasures, informed by understanding users' motivations via UGT, are crucial to mitigate this, but they must be regularly evaluated for effectiveness.
