Professor Shakuntala Banaji | LSE Department Media and Communications

Описание: What is the link between online misinformation and hate speech and offline politics and power? In this film, Professor Shakuntala Banaji explains how different kinds of oppression across the world are deeply engaged with what’s happening online. She details the concept of a hierarchy of hate: hate and abuse on social media is directed at people because of who they are, rather than what they say, and certain identities attract far more hate online than other groups do.
