“…What needs to be added to the third aspect of Parekh's definition is the subordinate-superior relationship. This means that hate speech puts its creator into the position of authority and a target into the position of subordinate which supports a view of targets as inferior and legitimates discriminatory behaviour (Gelber, 2019). The presence of inequality in the context of hate speech is one of the central elements.…”

“…According to Gelber (2019), it is important to notice that for hate speech to be able to cause harm, it is not necessary to evoke the emotion of hatred. Hate itself is not and does not have to be (see also Browns, 2017a "myth of hate") a key element of its definition.…”

“…Since both indicators are easy to operationalize, they provide more clearer guidance for effective identification of hate speech. Some scholars (Gelber, 2019;Parekh, 2012) ). For more detailed information on strength, closeness, and betweenness please see the tutorial paper by (Constantini et al, 2015), for more information on expected influence please see Robinaugh et al, 2016).…”

The way hate speech is combated and prosecuted should depend on its conceptualization. No exact, unified definition of hate speech, however, exists. With help from interdisciplinary experts, the present paper attempts to draw out a framework for its better understanding by providing a list of concrete hate speech indicators and their rationale. A preliminary exploratory examination of the structure of hate speech, performed on comments related to migrants, indicated that denial of human rights and promoting violent behavior play a central role in the network of indicators. Having a set of quantifiable indicators could benefit human right activists, educators, analysts, and regulators by providing them with a pragmatic tool for hate speech assessment.

“…One is a definitional problem: we lack a univocal definition of what exact forms of speech count as hate/dangerous speech (Brown, 2017;Benesch et al, 2018;Gelber, 2019). The other challenge is the legal problem of establishing under what conditions the harm achieved is subject to legal protection (Bleich, 2011;Waldron, 2014;Oster, 2015;Heinze, 2016;Howard 2019).…”

Harmful language is frequent in social media, in particular in spaces which are considered anonymous and/or allow free participation. In this paper, we analyze the language in a Telegram channel populated by followers of former US President Donald Trump. We seek to identify the ways in which harmful language is used to create a specific narrative in a group of mostly like-minded discussants. Our research has several aims. First, we create an extended taxonomy of potentially harmful language that includes not only hate speech and direct insults (which have been the focus of existing computational methods), but also other forms of harmful speech discussed in the literature. We manually apply this taxonomy to a large portion of the corpus, including the time period leading up to and the aftermath of the January 2021 US Capitol riot. Our data gives empirical evidence for harmful speech, such as in/outgroup divisive language and the use of codes within certain communities, that have not often been investigated before. Second, we compare our manual annotations of harmful speech to several automatic methods for classifying hate speech and offensive language, namely list-based and machine-learning-based approaches. We find that the Telegram data sets still pose particular challenges for these automatic methods. Finally, we argue for the value of studying such naturally-occurring, coherent data sets for research on online harm and how to address it in linguistics and philosophy.

At around the age of 10 I was told that, as a boy aged 12, my father had been put on a Kindertransport out of Vienna in late 1938, taken to a camp in England, fostered by an (unnamed) English headmaster and his wife, and then evacuated to Yorkshire where he was boarded at a school until the end of the war. To say this story is brief is an understatement. The details of it were not discussed, and as a child I gleaned these few memories and this truncated version of the story from my father only once, and at the direct urging of my mother.Yet after my father died in 2017 I discovered a trove of objects, artefacts of a life I knew almost nothing about but which he had had in his possession for decades. These artefacts-books, photographs, letters, and other documents 200 -had survived World War Two and the bombing of the flat in which his family had once lived in Vienna. But I do not, and will never, know
