Racist riots erupted in the United Kingdom due to online disinformation, sparking violence against mosques and immigrants. Experts warn that similar events could happen in the United States, especially with social media moderation weakening. A judge in Los Angeles ordered UCLA to protect Jewish students from pro-Palestinian protesters blocking access to classes. An appeals court in California expressed skepticism about a judge’s decision to drop charges against a white supremacist. Additionally, a former University of Kentucky student faces one year in prison for a racist tirade against a Black student. Overall, concerns about extremism and hate speech are growing, both in the U.S. and abroad, as tensions rise before the upcoming election.
