I have legitimate concerns about the way the mainstream media has been enabling the rise of the far-right through normalising racist and anti-immigrant narratives & discourse...

I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities.

I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...
ENOUGH of the BBC legitimising anti-asylum protests!

Far right groups are threatening to burn down hotels full of refugees at events attended by senior politicians, while people of colour live in fear after being falsely labelled as paedophiles

How mainstream politicians and media organisations are allowing a violent far right movement to spread
Where Is the Political Leadership Against This Violent Far-Right Movement Terrorising Britain?
The silence of senior mainstream politicians and media organisations against the rise of a new well-organised far-right movement on Britain's streets is a disgrace, argues Adam Bienkov

The co-produced mobile & visual methods study (incl. video-based mobile eye-tracking) proposes the needs to consider:
🔹 Technologies as double-edged.
🔹 Entanglements of diverse technologies.
🔹 Temporalities, costs, training needs, & everyday usability.
