A community platform where citizens debate strategies for fighting extremism, censorship, and discrimination, and collaborate to identify propaganda sources.
The SPLC, ADL, and Counter Extremism Project do important work. But their databases are closed, their methodologies opaque, and citizen participation is limited to donations. Meanwhile, propaganda spreads faster than any nonprofit can track. The people with the most to lose have no seat at the table.
Evidence-based discussion threads where counter-extremism strategies are proposed, debated, and refined by the community. Not another unmoderated forum.
Community-curated profiles of people and organizations promoting extremist propaganda. Every entry requires sourced evidence, Wikipedia-style.
A living collection of counter-extremism tactics that have actually worked, rated and reviewed by practitioners, researchers, and community members.
Contributors earn credibility through quality contributions. Experts, journalists, and researchers get verified status. Prevents co-option by bad actors.
"The greatest threat to extremism isn't a single organization with a database. It's a million informed citizens who refuse to look away."
The ExtremistWatch Thesis
Community members submit documented evidence of extremist actors, propaganda campaigns, and discriminatory practices. Every submission requires sources.
Structured discussion threads let members propose and critique strategies for countering specific threats. Evidence-based arguments rise to the top.
The best strategies and most documented cases become part of a public knowledge base that journalists, researchers, and advocacy organizations can use.
ExtremistWatch turns passive concern into organized, evidence-based action. The watchdog that belongs to everyone.
