Extremism, the manosphere, and how the algorithm traps kids: Rebekah Nijsen Pt. 2

 

How does a normal teenage boy go from gaming videos and self-improvement content to hate-filled online groups?

In Part 2, former police officer Rebekah Nijsen, founder of Lighthouse Cyber Education, sits down with Gary to break down the pipeline. From AI-driven feeds to manosphere influencers to private, paywalled groups, she explains how teen boys are drawn in with promises of popularity and success, then exposed to red-pill ideology, lookmaxing pressure, and increasingly extreme views.

Rebekah also unpacks doxing and swatting, how a leaked address can lead to armed police at your front door and what parents can do tonight, from getting devices out of bedrooms to spotting red flags early and knowing when to call police.
