Fanning the Flames of Hate: Social Media and Hate Crime

Titel Fanning the Flames of Hate: Social Media and Hate Crime
Beschreibung/Kommentar

Eine wissenschaftlichen Studie aus England untersucht die Beziehung zwischen sozialen Medien wie facebook und Hate Crime (engl., University of Warwick 2018).

"This paper investigates the link between social media and hate crime using Facebook data. We study the case of Germany, where the recently emerged right-wing party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has developed a major social media presence. We show that right-wing anti-refugee sentiment on Facebook predicts violent crimes against refugees in otherwise similar municipalities with higher social media usage. To further establish causality, we exploit exogenous variation in major internet and Facebook outages, which fully undo the correlation between social media and hate crime. We further find that the effect decreases with distracting news events; increases with user network interactions; and does not hold for posts unrelated to refugees. Our results suggest that social media can act as a propagation mechanism between online hate speech and real-life violent crime."
