Extremist Content Online: Christchurch Manifesto Translated Into 41 Languages
With Use Of Google Technology


(New York, N.Y.) — The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) reports weekly on the
methods used by extremists to exploit the Internet and social media platforms
to recruit followers and incite violence.



Last week, CEP researchers identified more than three dozen Google-translated
copies of the Christchurch terrorist’s manifesto on the Internet Archive. CEP
researchers also found profiles on TikTok that posted clips from the
Christchurch attack, praised the attacker, or advocated for further acts of
violence. A recently released video from the Active Club movement was located
on several sites, including Twitter.



CEP researchers also identified five more Instagram pages sharing antisemitic
memes, neo-Nazi content, videos, and propaganda. On Telegram, the neo-Nazi
accelerationist group Injekt Division praised the Jacksonville Dollar General
shooter. Another Telegram channel, unaffiliated with any group, shared a video
containing tips for making homemade explosive devices.



Finally, the pro-ISIS group al-Azaim Media released the 28th issue of the
Voice of Khorasanweb magazine. The latest edition encouraged violence against
the Indian government and Hindu nationalist groups in retaliation for attacks
on Muslims.



41 Different Translations of Christchurch Terrorist’s Manifesto Located on the
Internet Archive, Translated By Google



On August 29, CEP researchers located 41 translations of the Christchurch
terrorist’s manifesto on the Internet Archive. The manifesto, which advocates
for violence against Muslims, immigrants, and others, was originally published
online minutes before the attacker murdered 51 people at two mosques.



All 41 files were uploaded by the same account, which also uploaded a variety
of other white supremacist and neo-Nazi content and links to white supremacist
content on other websites. All files were in the Internet Archive’s “fringe”
and “deemphasized” collections and required being logged in to the site to view
them.



All translations contained a note that they were “Machine Translated by
Google,” indicating that a PDF of the manifesto in English was uploaded and
translated by Google Translate.



The manifesto was found translated into the following languages: Afrikaans,
Albanian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarussian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian,
Czech, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Hungarian,
Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Macedonian,
Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Scottish, Serbian, Slovakian,
Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tajik, Turkish, Turkmen, Ukrainian, and Welsh.
