Book by ex-Kurz spokesman on radical influencers
At his book presentation in Vienna, former Chancellor spokesperson Gerald Fleischmann warns of the growing threat posed by extremist influencers on social media. Young people are particularly at risk - as the Villach attacker shows.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Gerald Fleischmann, former press spokesman for ex-Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, presented his new book "Die Codes der Extremisten" ( edition a, €27) at a Thalia branch in Vienna-Mariahilf on Monday evening. In it, he not only provides new insights into his time as government spokesman, as he did in his bestseller "Message Control", but also warns of the danger posed by extremist influencers on social networks. These would specifically radicalize young people, often under the radar of the public.
Villach terrorist Ahmad G. also used TikTok
The 23-year-old assassin from Villach, who used TikTok to join extremist circles, is a frightening example. Fleischmann calls for more education - especially for parents - and warns that apparent "lone offenders" could turn into an entire army. These actors often appear harmless in order to influence and radicalize young people. Their aim is to create an "army of lone offenders" through targeted propaganda.
Fleischmann wants to help parents
A key problem is the use of codes and symbols that make early recognition difficult. Despite this knowledge, not enough attention is often paid to this. Fleischmann has written the book to create transparency about these methods.
It is aimed particularly at parents and includes a glossary of names of radical influencers to help identify dangerous content in their children's media consumption.
