Our panel discusses the need for stronger oversight of social media, and how face-to-face relationships are the best way to de-radicalize people. Don’t cut conspiracy theorists out of your life and don’t disparage them. “You can limit the amount of firehose of propaganda they’re sending at you to convert you. Say, ‘listen, I love you, I respect you, you’re intelligent. I’ll believe, if there’s evidence. Let’s take it one step at a time. You share something, we’ll discuss it. I’ll share something, we’ll discuss it. And it’s this personal relationship that really helps re-personalize people.” – Steve Hassan (pictured above)
