- cyberbully 12y agoWhat is an "extremist forum" exactly? Ars Technica?? That link was in the Ars Technica article.
- acqq 12y agoSo if the link to the NYT article is published on the extremist forum, and you job is to search for the extremists, you'd search for the NYT readers instead of the readers of the forum? Your explanation has no sense, sorry.
