A new report warns online outrage, driven by social media, threatens Australia’s social cohesion and national security.
A new report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute warns that online outrage, fueled by social media’s focus on speed over truth, is a growing national security threat undermining social cohesion.
Declining trust in government, media, and institutions—exacerbated by terrorism, foreign conflict, and the pandemic—has created space for disinformation and grievance-driven narratives.
The report calls for treating social cohesion as a strategic priority, like defense or cybersecurity, recommending a national resilience communications lead and a digital outrage risk index to monitor hyper-viral events.
It urges Australians to hold complex, conflicting beliefs without falling into extremism, emphasizing the need to balance criticism of government, condemnation of terrorism, and protection of minorities.
