Description: All over the world, extreme right activists and neo-nazis are using the Internet as a tool for self identification, communication, and recruitment in order to avoid national laws and police investigations. The last decades have seen the rise of extreme right movements in several European countries and in the U.S. The rise of ultra right activism in the U.S. has surged in 2016 with the election of Donald Trump. Using Twitter bios, this study investigates the pattern of the global extreme right over the period of 2008 to 2018.
