Using expert interviews and focus groups, this book investigates
the theoretical and practical intersection of misinformation and
social media hate in contemporary societies. Social Media and Hate
argues that these phenomena, and the extreme violence and
discrimination they initiate against targeted groups, are connected
to the socio-political contexts, values and behaviours of users of
social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, ShareChat,
Instagram and WhatsApp. The argument moves from a theoretical
discussion of the practices and consequences of sectarian hatred,
through a methodological evaluation of quantitative and qualitative
studies on this topic, to four qualitative case studies of social
media hate, and its effects on groups, individuals and wider
politics in India, Brazil, Myanmar and the UK. The technical,
ideological and networked similarities and connections between
social media hate against people of African and Asian descent,
indigenous communities, Muslims, Dalits, dissenters, feminists,
LGBTQIA communities, Rohingya and immigrants across the four
contexts is highlighted, stressing the need for an equally
systematic political response. This is an insightful text for
scholars and academics in the fields of Cultural Studies, Community
Psychology, Education, Journalism, Media and Communication Studies,
Political Science, Social Anthropology, Social Psychology, and
Sociology.
