DR examines online network after teens accused of plotting school shooting

DR’s programme Essensen examines a notorious network of sadistic online groups after three teenagers were arrested on suspicion of planning a school shooting at a school in eastern Jutland.

The case is the latest in a series in Denmark and abroad involving the groups, which refer to themselves as “the com”. In closed Telegram and Discord groups, young people, often vulnerable, are subjected to acts described as going beyond their worst nightmares.

The programme asks who is behind “the com” and why the network is so difficult to stop.
