Hate Speech on Social Media: A Systemic Narrative Review of Political Science Contributions (MDPI)

Using data from 79 political science and international relations studies, the present systematic narrative review investigates the political aspects of hate speech on the internet. Platform policies, regulatory frameworks, identity threats, far-right rhetoric, and media narratives are among the main causes examined. The political ramifications, such as the normalization of discrimination, the repression of opposition, and the incitement of organized hate, are also highlighted. In order to lessen the effects of hate in the social media age, the paper also summarizes some counterstrategies, with special emphasis on allyship, digital literacy, deterrence tactics, and counter-speech.
