764: the violent extremist network targeting kids online

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

A recent terrorism arrest in Alberta has been linked to the group 764, an extremist network that coerces children into self-harming and sharing sexual material. But many of the perpetrators aren't adults, they're also minors.


CBC’s senior reporter and co-host of The Fifth Estate, Ionna Roumeliotis, has reported extensively on the 764 network. She joins Jayme Poisson to talk about who this group is, how it operates, and why some victims have struggled to get law enforcement to take action.
