Safe Havens for Hate by Tamar Mitts examines the shortcomings of online content moderation in curbing extremist networks and hate-based movements. Based on extensive data from over 100 militant and hate organizations worldwide, the book analyzes how varied moderation standards across platforms create loopholes that extremists exploit to coordinate, recruit, and spread propaganda. Focusing on actors such as ISIS and domestic extremist groups, Mitts highlights how the digital environment influences cross-platform activities and resilience strategies of extremists. The work bridges counterterrorism, political science, and media studies, offering insights into both the failures of current approaches and potential policy solutions.The book directly addresses the themes of extremism, radicalization, and counterterrorism in the digital sphere, making it a significant contribution to understanding modern security and peace-building challenges.
