"C'est un véritable danger d'enseigner aux jeunes hommes qu'il est acceptable de faire du mal aux femmes."
Imran Ahmed, directeur général du Center for Countering Digital Hate, alerte sur le mouvement masculiniste "incel". Une idéologie qui gagne de plus en plus d'adolescents en France.
00:00Il est un vrai, clair et présent danger de la sécurité des enfants
00:05que jeunes jeunes sont taughtes que c'est OK de faire des femmes.
00:30Ironically the incel movement started with a young woman who was talking about being involuntarily celibate
00:39and she was finding a way to share that with other women who were going through the same situation.
00:44But over time what it's come to mean is not that relatively benign type
00:50but actually a more malignant movement driven by young men.
00:55They've been groomed to believe that not only do they have a fundamental right to sex
01:02but because women are refusing to have sex with them
01:05that is a violation of their fundamental rights and that women should be punished.
01:15Dad I haven't done anything!
01:18He's a good kid.
01:20Jamie.
01:22Do you know a girl called Katie Leonard?
01:25Yeah. Describe each other as friends then.
01:29Is she dead then?
01:31Why would you ask her?
01:34What you have is a group of people who've been socialised by algorithms
01:41and have been particularly vulnerable to radicalisation in extreme spaces to which they have had access.
01:50This is a radically different generation we're talking about.
01:53The first digital generation.
01:55There are people like, you know, Adrienne Laurent and Alex Hitchens, you explain to me why on earth they're still on any platform at all.
02:09I am actually angry at them for grooming and misleading this young man into destroying their own lives and potentially destroying the lives of young women around them.
02:18All of the platforms anyway, even if they did use to moderate, they've all made it clear in recent months.
02:24Both, you know, X and Meta, and most recently YouTube, have said that they actually plan to reduce moderation, not increase it.
02:34One of the hardest things about modern life, and certainly being a parent in the modern life, is that you're not actually sharing experiences with your kids.
02:50And I think it's really important to have symmetrical conversations where you're learning from your kids what they are seeing with an open mind.
02:57Because it's not their fault they're seeing that, this is being pushed to them by an algorithm.
03:01Our politicians have done the right thing in Europe, but there has been some hesitation in enforcing those rules in a robust and effective way.
03:10And so it's time to see action from Brussels.
