Engine of Hate: The online networks behind the Labour Party's antisemitism crisis
Date: 2019
Topics: Antisemitism: Discourse, Antisemitism: Left-Wing, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Internet, Social Media, Politics
Abstract: This report analyses the behaviour of Labour supporting Twitter accounts, networks and alternative media sites to discover whether (and if so, how) antisemitic narratives have taken root in Labour-supporting online circles. Using up to four years’ worth of tweets, it finds that there is no separation online between generic pro-Labour Twitter accounts and campaigns, and abusive Twitter accounts that claim to act in support of Labour in order to shut down allegations of antisemitism against the party.
