A LITTLE EXCLUSIVE FROM ME: I got ahold of some insane data that shows an astronomical increase in both anti-Chinese and antisemitic hate speech fuelled by coronavirus conspiracy theorieshttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/04/covid-19-coronavirus-anti-chinese-antisemitic-hate-speech-5g-conspiracy-theory …
Also, perhaps the most interesting thing from this report: 5G conspiracy theories have become a gateway to other more insidious theories. And more often than not, those other ones are deeply antisemitichttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/04/covid-19-coronavirus-anti-chinese-antisemitic-hate-speech-5g-conspiracy-theory …
While this may not be entirely surprising, the scale of it is. Between February and March (and it's a fair bet that the difference between March and April will be even bigger) the increase in some of these conspiracy theories grew by almost 2000%https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/04/covid-19-coronavirus-anti-chinese-antisemitic-hate-speech-5g-conspiracy-theory …
Just to clarify as the US wakes up: this data isn't just the UK, it's worldwidehttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/04/covid-19-coronavirus-anti-chinese-antisemitic-hate-speech-5g-conspiracy-theory …
Very true this. Also loads of anti-Chinese videos flying round WhatsApp at present too. Sad to see
Quite a big exclusive!
