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 …
SCOOP (this is great and also terrifying)
it's so so so bad! like not entirely surprising, but the scale is insane
