title = {Narratives of Risk: Assessing the Discourse of Online Extremism and Measures Proposed to Counter It},
year = {2016},
note = {The discourse surrounding digital technologies is rapidly changing,
namely from an entity with the potential to generate positive
political change to one that can be abused by extremists. In light of
this, a new “dispositif” of risk has emerged whereby governments
are seeking to address the imagined dangers posed by digital
technology through a series of pre-emptive measures. By examining how
the relationship between digital technology and violent extremism has
been articulated in the EU’s counter-terrorism policy, this article
argues that critical distance is now needed from both these utopian
and/or dystopian conceptualisations of digital technology and
conflict.},
