764 is a decentralized transnational network of online nihilistic violent extremists, whose core beliefs are rooted in misanthropy (a hatred of humanity or the human race) and nihilism (the rejection of all religious, moral and social values, often accompanied by a belief that life is meaningless.)

In February 2024, a 14-year-old 764 member from Alberta was charged with multiple offences, including child po*******hy and explosives-related crimes. Authorities allege the minor was active in extremist group chats and shared disturbing online content involving violence, weapons, self-harm, and sexual exploitation material.

Police have warned parents about the extremism of groups like 764 on gaming and messaging platforms like Roblox and Discord.
