What this episode covers
The incel community has been associated with terrorist attacks and misogynistic violence. But logically, just as not all violent terrorists are incels, not all incels are violent terrorists and uncritical condemnation is neither scientific nor constructive. Allysa Czerwinsky joins us for an open and objective discussion of the incel community and research into that community so that we can better understand this group. Dr Nicolas Vermeys answers another of my silly questions about the regulations around the storage of data and whether companies as victims of data breaches can also be held responsible for the loss of their client’s data.
