Hacking Hate

A well-regarded and award-winning Swedish journalist goes undercover in extremist online spaces, uncovering how white supremacist networks increase followers — and how big tech profits from their hate. 

Swedish journalist My Vingren is known for her deep investigative work. In Hacking Hate, she takes her methods further than ever, creating a fake profile to infiltrate far-right online communities. As she pieces together how these networks radicalize people, she also reveals the role of social media giants, which allow hate speech to spread while profiting from engagement. But embedding herself in this world comes at a cost. A gripping and urgent documentary that exposes the dangers of unchecked digital propaganda.
