GNET and The Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC) are hosting a joint panel discussion centred on the research findings and the tech sector’s response to the May 2022 Buffalo attack. Aligning with GNET’s and ARC’s missions, this event will cover the following:

– The shooter’s antisemitic and racist worldviews;
– The shooter’s status as a product of militant accelerationism;
– Where this attack fits into the spate of right-wing extremist attacks in recent years;
– The shooter’s use of technology in the lead up to and during the attack; and
– The application of the Content Incident Protocol (CIP), GIFCT’s response to emerging and active terrorist events.
