Knivangreb i Villach: Radikalisering af Tikkok i syne!

Villach, Österreich - Den mest brutale handling rystede Villach den 17. februar 2025: En 23-årig syrisk stak en 14-årig dreng og sårede fem andre mennesker. The investigators suspect an Islamist motive behind this fatal attack, since the perpetrator had apparently radicalized on the Internet - mainly about the controversial TIKTOK platform, as news.orf.at . Eksperter advarer om, at sådanne platforme altid fungerer som en yngleplads for hadprædikanter og ekstremistisk indhold.

radikalisering af sociale medier

The terrorist researcher Peter Neumann found that certain “Islamist influencers” reach young people with their videos on platforms such as Tikok and Instagram. The algorithms of these social networks show users increasingly content that corresponds to their click preferences, which can lead to a dangerous filter bubble. Lukas Daniel Klausner from the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences said that only a few clicks are needed to get to such an echo chamber where radical Islamist content is in the foreground. These clips are particularly tricky because they initially treat harmlessly acting everyday topics, such as social norms within Islam, according to digital expert Ingrid Brodnig. Moderation mechanisms that make effective control of the content more difficult.

I øjeblikket er der mellem 25 og 50 mistænkte i Lower Østrig, der kan være medlemmer af en terrorforening. Situationen kalder ikke kun politiet, men også politik. Eksperter kræver mere gennemsigtighed og revision af algoritmerne for at modvirke radikalisering. It is crucial that social networks such as Tikok in Europe will be regulated more to prevent similar incidents in the future, as recently took place in Villach.
