Research on anti-Semitic discourse in the online environment in Romania

Summary/Abstract: Hate speech means attacking, intimidating, humiliating, discrediting, hostile behaviour, or inciting violence against a person or a group of people on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, social category, gender, disability, membership of a community. Online Hate Speech is associated with phenomena such as intolerance, discrimination, marginalization, and social exclusion of some people or entire groups by appealing to stereotypes, prejudices, extremist ideologies, denying historical facts or invoking personalities who have been convicted of crimes against humanity. The consequences of Hate Speech can be identified in all forms of manifestation of social polarization, violence of any kind, and social, political, and military conflicts. The present work represents a contribution to the definition of the concept of online hate speech and the problems associated with this phenomenon (actors, contexts and consequences), it inventories the international, European and Romanian governmental and non-governmental organizations with attributions in the countering of hate speech. The paper summarizes the theoretical and empirical research elaborated so far in the Romanian academic space, concluding with the importance of using artificial intelligence (hate speech moderation algorithms, Big Data, Machine Learning, Application Programming Interface) to prevent and combat online hate content against jews (online antisemitism) or other groups.
