Simon Klose's documentary is a dystopian internet thriller that follows My Vingren, an award-winning journalist who for many years worked to expose the work of far-right groups in spreading hate online. Despite the risks involved, she creates fake profiles on social media platforms to show how right-wing extremists recruit and radicalize using the major platforms. In the review, Vingren discovers how the big tech companies lie about how they profit from extremism and that all hatred threatens democracy.
