Ottawa announces funding to study links to 'violent extremism' in video games
The federal government announced Wednesday funding of more than $300,000 to examine how gaming communities can potentially create environments conducive to radicalization and violent extremism.
So they paid $300,000 to make up a link between the two. Sounds really cheap tbh.
It’s probably starting out. They’ll release a report saying they couldn’t find a link but for more money, they can look again. Rinse and repeat.
Academics can ALWAYS find a link via p-hacking.
None of their data is actually reproducible. But it always fits with the narrative.
