As misinformation and radicalisation rise, it’s tempting to look for something to blame: the internet, social media personalities, sensationalised political campaigns, religion, or conspiracy theories.

Bei dem Erdbeben in New York am Freitag sind zum Glück keine größeren Schäden entstanden. Am Morgen hatten erste Meldungen im Internet die Runde gemacht, in denen Anwohner:innen sich fragten, was die gerade empfundenen Erschütterungen zu bedeuten haben.
