Online Hate on Social Media

The book empirically investigates various tactics, approaches, and digital communities that play a role in the propagation of online hate on social media. I use a mixed method approach involving manual and automated analysis of social media data mostly taken from Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram. Though no book can be comprehensive enough, this manuscript offers the reader a modest understanding of the important aspects that negatively impact certain communities such as racialized groups and women. The quality of online hate becomes notably different at the intersection of these identities, especially when taking into account religion, ethnicity, gender, and race.

Covers under-researched issues like the Kekistani community or the use of certain emojis and hashtags to convey hate Uses an interdisciplinary and mixed method approach to analyze social media data Examines different online communities and their misinformation and hate on social media
