  • Sinister Influence: An easygoing DJ led a dual life as an online propagandist for white supremacist hate and, prosecutors say, inspired followers to kill LGBTQ+ people and people of color.
  • Producer of Hate: For years, Matthew Allison took advantage of lax moderation on the social media platform Telegram to churn out videos — around 120 in total — celebrating white terrorism.
  • A Free Speech Defense: Allison has said he is a video “artist” and does not hate anyone. He denied inciting people to commit violence and plans to fight his case on First Amendment grounds.

I really wish I was able to enjoy meeting new people and making new friends without worrying if they’re secretly a bigot, or even a radical bigot
