Online Islamophobia

Understanding linguistic hubs to detect hate speech

Online Islamophobia

Abstract

X-Twitter, Facebook, Instagram are the most popular social media where hateful contents against Muslim people are widespread, increasing the overall hate climate (online and consequently offline).

The tenth OSINT Report drafted by Viviana Gullo at the end of the STAND-UP and TRUST EU-co-funded projects reveals interesting insights on the online Islamophobia within the European territory, through the analysis of the so-defined linguistic hubs.

To conduct the research and analysis, the team involved in the project relied both on freely available tools and on an AI-powered OSINT system. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), all available personal data have been anonymised and/or redacted.

Before reading this report, please be advised that its content may be perceived as offensive or disturbing for some readers. Slurs and hate speech content have not been censored for the report purposes.
