The New York Region is proud to kick-off its Outreach Network series with An Evening with Christopher Wolf, Co-Author of Viral Hate: Containing Its Spread on the Internet, on Monday, September 30th at 6:30 PM at New York’s legendary Cafe Wha.

In Viral Hate: Containing Its Spread on the Internet (Palgrave Macmillan, June 2013), Abraham H. Foxman and Christopher Wolf examine the epidemic of Internet hate and provide examples of the real harm online hate does to people and to society.  As they explain, “Words of hate can easily turn into acts of hate.”  Foxman and Wolf expose how individuals and organizations from both the left and right, emboldened by anonymity and without worrying about repercussions, are freely spewing hateful vitriol on the Internet.  Mr. Wolf’s dynamic and engaging presentation will share how he and Mr. Foxman have exposed the threat that this unregulated flow of bigotry poses to the world, exploring how social media companies are struggling to reconcile the demands of business with freedom of speech.
