More About Decode Hate on Social Media with Matthias J. Becker

As social media transcends the boundaries of the digital world, how do we differentiate between free speech and hate speech online — and how do we combat its harmful effects?

The Westport Library is excited to present a special interactive Common Ground experience that will answer these questions and more, giving participants of all ages the tools they need to Decode Hate — by identifying harmful discourse and recognizing how it shapes our worldview online and offline.

Led by renowned research scholar Dr. Matthias J. Becker, the centerpiece of this three-part experience is a 90-minute seminar and Q&A on April 21 at 7 pm, free to attend and open to all.
