How to make the internet a less safe place for extremism

Is the Internet a Safe Space for Extremism?; A project to help people to take control of their data in Jakarta; Fitbit for dogs in New Zealand; Atau Tanaka’s meta gesture music

In the light of the recent terror attack in London, can anything be done reclosing loopholes in the radicalization of young men on social network platforms?  Click talks to Jamie Bartlett about his research into this area and what he has learned in the research for his new book, Radicals.

A report from the Republica Conference in Berlin on two schemes to change the narrative of poor people by empowering them to take control of their data.  Julia Lorke talks to Denise Karunungan from Open Data Lab Jakarta and Gilberto Vieira from Data Labe in Brazil.

New Zealand is reputed to have more working dogs per capita than anywhere else in the world – an estimated 200,000.  Simon Morton visits a high country sheep station and reports on a ground-breaking study using canine fitbits to monitor the dogs’ lives. 
 
Atau Tanaka joins Click to discuss the IX Symposium in Montreal Canada, and Meta Gesture Music, a dynamic new field that aims to take electronic music out of the computer and make physical some of the interactions.
