The Jan. 6 Committee released its final report on December 22, 2022—the capstone of a year and half of investigative work. But while the report is 800 pages, there's a lot that it doesn't include. The Washington Post recently reported on the work done by investigators looking into the role of social media in enabling the insurrection—work that wasn't incorporated into the final document.Lawfare senior editor Quinta Jurecic sat down with Dean Jackson, project manager of the Influence Operations Researchers' Guild at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He served as an investigative analyst with the Jan. 6 committee, investigating the role of social media in the insurrection. They talked about his experience working on the investigation and what his team uncovered—and walked through what got left out from the final report.You can read Dean's essay with fellow Jan. 6 committee staffers Meghan Conroy and Alex Newhouse here on Just Security and listen to an interview with Dean and his colleagues here at Tech Policy Press.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

In December, an Anti-Defamation League study found a sharp rise in the number of people who say they've encountered white supremacist ideology while playing online video games. The persistent presence of individual gamers and groups spreading hate in gaming communities has led to calls for the industry to do more to stop it.  The question is, how? Bloomberg video game reporter Cecilia D'Anastasio joins this episode to explain why it's so difficult to police virtual worlds, and what companies are and aren't doing to confront the problem. Alex Newhouse, deputy director of the Middlebury Institute's Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism, talks about his work trying to help the gaming industry stamp out toxic culture on its platforms.

Meghan Conroy and Alex Newhouse worked for the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol as investigator and investigative analyst, respectively. They join Posting Through It on the second anniversary of the Capitol riot to talk about the work they did in the Congressional investigation, particularly related to the roles social media platforms had in the attack.Read their essay in Just Security: Insiders' View of the January 6th Committee's Social Media InvestigationFollow Meghan Conroy: @meghaneconroyFollow Alex Newhouse: @AlexBNewhouseThe Where's Waldo-style Insurrectionist illustration: https://www.brianmichaelweaver.com/updates/insurrection-mazeSupport the showSubscribe to the Posting Through It newsletter

According to the legislation that established the January 6th Committee, the members were mandated to examine “how technology, including online platforms” such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Reddit and others “may have factored into the motivation, organization, and execution” of the insurrection. When the Committee issued subpoenas to platforms a year ago, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said, “Two key questions for the Select Committee are how the spread of misinformation and violent extremism contributed to the violent attack on our democracy, and what steps—if any—social media companies took to prevent their platforms from being breeding grounds for radicalizing people to violence.” In order to learn what came of this particular aspect of the Committee's sprawling, 18 month investigation, in this episode I'm joined by four individuals who helped conduct it, including staffing the depositions of social media executives, message board operators, far-right online influencers, militia members, extremists and others that gave testimony to the Committee:Meghan Conroy is the U.S. Research Fellow with the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) and a co-founder of the Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC), and was an Investigator with the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.Dean Jackson is Project Manager of the Influence Operations Researchers' Guild at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and was formerly an Investigative Analyst with the Select Committee. Alex Newhouse is the Deputy Director at the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism and the Director of Technical Research at the Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC), and served as an Investigative Analyst for the Select Committee.Jacob Glick is Policy Counsel at Georgetown's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, and served as an Investigative Counsel on the Select Committee.

This week we have a chat with Alex Newhouse from the Accelerationism Research Consortium about militant accelerationism & the work of ARC.

We're back from E3 and ready to talk some smack! Peter and Alexa are joined by Alex Newhouse and Matt Espinelli to rehash everything from Kojima's new groove to the Final Fantasy XV demo and Resident Evil 7. 

Wherein we discuss stupid idiot audio issues, GameSpot's awesome intern, fan fiction, San Diego Comic-Con 2014, Sesame Street panels, pro cosplaying tips, crazy Hall H lines, the Gotham pilot (very minor potential spoilers), the severe lack of Doctor Strange at Comic-Con, Ant-Man's terrible replacement director, Hearthstone: Curse of Naxxramas, EA Access, the perfect Batman Beyond cast, and Justin's rather surprising height. Starring Ryan Scott, Justin Haywald, and Ryan Higgins, with special guest Alex Newhouse.

Kevin VanOrd hosts a scant crew, meaning that he and Tom Mc Shea and Alex Newhouse got together in a room with microphones and complained for an hour. Among the better complaints are those about Xbox One sales, Sunset Overdrive's ability to sell systems, and whether future shooters will once again be called Doom clones. Also, Kevin totally asks Alex to add "wiping Kevin's butt" to his list of intern duties. It's in his contract, folks!
