In her presentation titled “How to Turn Your Grandmom Into a Terrorist,” she shows how the digital world has made it cheaper and easier for extremists and criminals to recruit people.

In this talk, Sara Hjalmarsson looks at how radicalization works in our digital world, the traps we can fall into when combating it, and what policymakers, law enforcement and citizens need to do differently to effectively fight this problem.
