Unicorn Riot’s mission is to expose and illuminate the root causes of social struggles. To that end, we’ve produced an extensive online database of leaked internet chats from the most active white supremacist groups in the U.S., shining light on their organizing conversations meant to be hidden from public view. Millions of these chats are now accessible to the public and available for journalists and researchers to use in their own work.
Logs from over 80 Discord chat servers connected to racist right-wing activities have been published in the DiscordLeaks web app database maintained by Unicorn Riot.
