Abstract

How does the online disinhibition effect impact communication about the Movement for Black Lives? To answer this question we first use a machine learning algorithm to analyze uncivil language in 1,945,494 tweets from the Black Lives Matter conversation. Mobile users and users in the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag were more likely to use uncivil language than non-mobile users. We also examine a random sample of 993 uncivil tweets in the Movement for Black Lives conversation, and find that many of the users in our qualitative data set employed uncivil language in order to critique racism, and discuss the implications for research using automatic processing to detect uncivil language or hate speech.
不文明的公民权利:机器学习和定性分析的不文明在基于x的对话中关于黑人的生命很重要
在线去抑制效应如何影响关于“黑人生命运动”的传播?为了回答这个问题,我们首先使用机器学习算法来分析来自“黑人的命也是命”对话的1945494条推文中的不文明语言。手机用户和#黑人生命很重要#标签的用户比非手机用户更有可能使用不文明的语言。我们还对“黑人生命运动”对话中993条不文明推文的随机样本进行了检查,发现我们定性数据集中的许多用户使用不文明的语言来批评种族主义,并讨论了使用自动处理来检测不文明语言或仇恨言论的研究意义。
