"n our latest study, we found more than half of some 100,000 tweets about two female Muslim congressional candidates in the 2018 midterms (both of whom would eventually win historic victories) involved outright hate speech. What's more, the bulk of the harassment and provocation came from a small cohort of troll-like accounts. These amplifiers didn’t simply retweet news stories and spam links. Content wasn't necessarily their primary weapon; connectivity was." The problem is that we don't really know who runs these troll accounts. White males from the US get the blame for these troll accounts, but the reality is probably much different. I would also like to see the definition of 'hate speech'. This category is so broad now that I find its labeling useless.
