AIC Study Probes Aussies' Online Radical Content Access

Based on a survey of over 13,300 online Australian adults, our new research shows:

  • Fringe or radical content was often accessed through messages, discussions and posts online.
  • Mainstream social media and messaging platforms were the platforms most frequently used to share fringe or radical content.
