用户生成的在线内容受到许多因素的影响，包括平台可供性和规范等内源性因素，以及特别是重大事件等外源性因素。这些影响用户说什么，他们怎么说，当他们说it.In本文中，我们专注于量化暴力事件对各种类型的仇恨言论的影响，从进攻和贬损恐吓和明确呼吁暴力。我们的锚立足于一系列发生在西方国家的袭击事件，这些事件涉及阿拉伯人和穆斯林，他们是肇事者或受害者，新闻媒体对此进行了广泛报道。这些攻击引发了各种论坛围绕移民的激烈政策辩论，包括网络媒体，这些论坛受到种族主义偏见和仇恨言论的破坏。我们研究的重点是模拟攻击对Twitter和Reddit两个社交媒体平台上仇恨言论的数量和类型的影响。在其他调查结果中，我们观察到极端主义暴力倾向于导致网上仇恨言论的增加，特别是直接鼓吹暴力的信息。我们的研究对网络仇恨言论的监控方式有影响，并提出了打击仇恨言论的方法。
User-generated content online is shaped by many factors, including endogenous elements such as platform affordances and norms, as well as exogenous elements, in particular significant events. These impact what users say, how they say it, and when they say it. In this paper, we focus on quantifying the impact of violent events on various types of hate speech, from offensive and derogatory to intimidation and explicit calls for violence. We anchor this study in a series of attacks involving Arabs and Muslims as perpetrators or victims, occurring in Western countries, that have been covered extensively by news media. These attacks have fueled intense policy debates around immigration in various fora, including online media, which have been marred by racist prejudice and hateful speech. The focus of our research is to model the effect of the attacks on the volume and type of hateful speech on two social media platforms, Twitter and Reddit. Among other findings, we observe that extremist violence tends to lead to an increase in online hate speech, particularly on messages directly advocating violence. Our research has implications for the way in which hate speech online is monitored and suggests ways in which it could be fought.
