DARKNET / SHOWTIME

Communities are the bedrock of society - physical spaces where residents share a collective purpose and common goals. But the internet has given rise to a new kind of community where lies and hate can flourish. In this episode, the story takes us to a would-be utopia in Spain where civic life is managed on Twitter; to a teacher who becomes the target of a digital lynch mob; and to the father of a school shooting victim who must prove to conspiracy theorists on the Internet the existence of his son.
