\nApple TV+ announces new series \u2018The Savant\u2019 inspired by true story of a woman who infiltrates online hate groups<\/br>

Apple TV+ is getting a new limited series, the company announced<\/a> yesterday, that is about a deep-cover investigator who infiltrates online hate groups to prevent violent attacks and mass shootings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Savant\u201d will have eight episodes and stars Jessica Chastain. The show is inspired by the true story published in 2019 by Cosmopolitan<\/a> writer Andrea Stanley, who will consult on the Apple TV+ series.<\/p>\n

A release date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

Stanley\u2019s article, \u201cIs It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?\u201d is one that will send chills down your spine. But that\u2019s probably a familiar feeling by now. Many of us are already aware of the mass influx of hate speech<\/a> on the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chase of getting the bad guy? Oh, man, that feels good,\u201d K, the anonymous investigator with the alias \u201cThe Savant,\u201d told Stanley.<\/p>\n

The nickname stems from K\u2019s keen ability to track hateful men online and determine if\/when they\u2019ll go from trolling misogynists, white supremacists or other extremists hiding behind computer screens to violent, frightening murderers.<\/p>\n

According to the article, K has reported tons of violent men to the FBI, such as Michael Finton, a 29-year-old who posted disturbing videos of Islamic extremists on Myspace and would later attempt to bomb the Paul Findley Federal Building in Springfield, Illinois.<\/p>\n

Besides her profession, not much else is known about K, except that she joined the Marine Corps after graduating from high school, has a degree in justice and public safety and studied rapists and murderers when she worked for a state-run agency that reinvestigates capital-murder cases. K eventually applied for a job with the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) to monitor online hate groups.<\/p>\n

Apple didn\u2019t share in its press release how similar the series will be to the Cosmopolitan story.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe storyline and character details are being kept under wraps,\u201d the company wrote in the announcement.<\/p>\n

Online hate, misinformation<\/a> and harassment<\/a> have circulated the internet for quite some time. In 2018, the ADL found that 37% of Americans<\/a> were subjected to extreme hate online.<\/p>\n

And while the January 6 United States Capitol attack<\/a> in 2021 urged tech companies<\/a> like Twitter<\/a>, Instagram and Facebook<\/a> to incite policies to identify and remove harmful content, reports continue to come out about major social media platforms failing to curb online hate.<\/p>\n

Lately, Twitter CEO Elon Musk<\/a> has been under fire after restoring problematic accounts<\/a>, including Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin (@WorldWarWang), and his overall leniency toward toxic internet culture.<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, YouTube updated its profanity rules<\/a>, which are more relaxed about the use of strong language. The platform also unsuspended<\/a> Trump\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
