What is the overlap of disinformation, cults and online radicalisation?
Stephen Judd from FACT Aotearoa leads a compelling panel discussion on Decult Talks, joined by experts in cult dynamics and extremism: Prof Ekant Veer (University of Canterbury), Austrian cult expert Ulrike Schiesser, Australian-Egyptian human rights activist Adam Elmasri and Auckland psychotherapist Paul Wilson.
Together, they unpack the social and psychological forces that pull people into dangerous rabbit holes, offering insights into how individuals and societies are affected.
Recorded live at the first Decult Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand, and produced as a podcast by Plains Media.
Tune in for a deep dive into the intersection of cults and disinformation spreading.
