A research group documented a more than 600% increase in online calls for civil war on platforms like 4Chan and Reddit in the day following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a rally. Researchers also found over double the normal daily volume of specific online threats or encouragements of violence. The shooter in the Trump assassination attempt had posted troubling content with antisemitic and anti-immigration themes as well as calls for political violence. A new report found common online glorification of mass shooters and targeted violence, with Google searches often leading to platforms hosting troubling discussions.
