Details
Summary: This project relies on an approach towards citizens' social responsibility enhancing and empowerment to combat online hate speech. We intend to test mechanisms to increase self-awareness and moral self-regulation towards monitoring and reporting online hate speech. Because existent social control seems to be perceived as ineffective or insufficient to control online hate speech, we propose that increasing internal social control (i.e., promote self-awareness and moral self-regulation) might be a determinant resource/ mechanisms to decrease bystander effect regarding online hate speech by enhancing people's commitment to fight it and report it.Results might be promising to inform social media platforms about additional strategies to combat this misbehaviour and to provide information for anti-discrimination NGOs' activists, politicians and moral entrepreneurs acting in anti-discrimination domains to decide about strategies towards empowering social networks and citizens against hate.
Observations: VigilHate will assess how pro-social behaviour determinants can be effective in stimulating bystanders’ moral self-regulation and leading them to report online hate speech. Results shall be conceptualized as recommendations about additional strategies to combat online misbehaviour through empowering civil society about its responsibility in reporting and countering online hate speech. Social relevance of the research: Governments’ and social media corporations’ efforts to detect and combat online hate speech seem insufficient so far, since the phenomenon appears to be growing. By failing to report online misbehaviour, bystanders indirectly contribute to legitimize and perpetuate its occurrence. Such passive behaviour represents, itself, a discriminatory practice against vulnerable groups. Originality/value of the project: Prior programs to combat online hate speech focus their attention on the victims and/or on the offenders. Little, if any attention has been directed to bystanders. By examining determinants to stimulate citizens’ moral self-regulation, VigilHate supports the perspective that all users are responsible to prevent and combat online hate speech
