MUST READ: @vicenews analyzed more than 1 million comments on 4chan. Hate speech there has spiked by 40% since 2015.https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/d3nbzy/we-analyzed-more-than-1-million-comments-on-4chan-hate-speech-there-has-spiked-by-40-since-2015?utm_campaign=sharebutton …
The heavily trafficked “politically incorrect” board shows +40% increase of slurs against racial/ethnic/religious/sexual/gender minorities since 2015, while neo-Nazi propaganda has proliferated. Users on the forum are also making more violent threats against minority groups.
Comments that include both hate speech & violent language show an increase of 25% over the same period. Hate speech is present in 1 out of every 15 comments, which is more than the comments on the Daily Stormer, an openly neo-Nazi site.
Users celebrate violence... Former users report that exposure to language, memes, & videos on the site desensitized them to hateful language/bloodshed, even offline. Attacks by individuals w/ extreme ideologies similar to those featured prominently on 4chan are rising in the U.S.
In the last 5 years, terrorist attacks by far-right attackers has nearly tripled. And perpetrators of recent far-right terrorist attacks in Christchurch, NZ, & Poway, CA, posted about their plans on 8chan, a more vitriolic offshoot of 4chan, where other users encouraged them.
I saw the same type of comments under @CNN and @NBC articles before they started refusing to allow comments.pic.twitter.com/7c7cv5NlO9
I wonder if having a racist child racist announce his presidential bid that year had anything to do with that!
