COVID-19 在网上引发了大量恶意内容，包括仇恨言论、网上辱骂和错误信息。在此期间，英国议员也在社交媒体上受到辱骂和仇恨。为了了解国会议员受到的虐待程度并了解其具体情况，我们考虑了部长们如何使用社交媒体来沟通这一流行病，以及由此产生的公民参与。本文的重点是对 2020 年 2 月初至 5 月下旬大流行期间英国政客在 Twitter 上的辱骂和敌对反应进行大规模、混合方法的研究。我们发现，财务问题等紧迫主题吸引了高水平的参与，但不一定是辱骂性对话。相反，在疫情大流行期间，批评当局似乎会招致更高程度的辱骂。此外，谈论种族主义和不平等等话题可能会导致一些用户指责其宣扬美德或迎合他人。这项工作有助于更广泛地理解网上辱骂性语言，特别是针对公职人员的辱骂性语言。
COVID-19 has given rise to a lot of malicious content online, including hate speech, online abuse, and misinformation. British MPs have also received abuse and hate on social media during this time. To understand and contextualise the level of abuse MPs receive, we consider how ministers use social media to communicate about the pandemic, and the citizen engagement that this generates. The focus of the paper is on a large-scale, mixed-methods study of abusive and antagonistic responses to UK politicians on Twitter, during the pandemic from early February to late May 2020. We find that pressing subjects such as financial concerns attract high levels of engagement, but not necessarily abusive dialogue. Rather, criticising authorities appears to attract higher levels of abuse during this period of the pandemic. In addition, communicating about subjects like racism and inequality may result in accusations of virtue signalling or pandering by some users. This work contributes to the wider understanding of abusive language online, in particular that which is directed at public officials.
