💨 Abstract

The rise of violent extremism among Gen-Z teenagers is driven by the decentralization and accessibility of digital platforms. These platforms, including social media, gaming ecosystems, and encrypted chat forums, facilitate the spread of extremist ideologies such as Islamist, neo-Nazi, or hybrid beliefs. Extremist recruiters exploit insecurities and identity crises among teenagers, offering a sense of community and purpose.
