A novel framework to effectively detect highly discussed topics that generate hate speech on Facebook is explored with the use of graph, sentiment, and emotion analysis techniques and is able to identify the pages that promote hate speech in the comment sections regarding sensitive topics automatically.
Abstract
Hate speech has been an issue since the start of the Internet, but the advent of social media has brought it to unimaginable heights. To address such an important issue, in this paper, we explore a novel framework to effectively detect highly discussed topics that generate hate speech on Facebook. With the use of graph, sentiment, and emotion analysis techniques, we cluster and analyze posts on prominent Facebook pages. Consequently, the proposed framework is able to identify the pages that promote hate speech in the comment sections regarding sensitive topics automatically.

Evaluating feature combination strategies for hate-speech detection in Spanish using linguistic features and transformers

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examine which features are most effective in identifying hate-speech in Spanish and how these features can be combined to develop more accurate systems, and characterize the language present in each type of hatespeech by means of explainable linguistic features and compare their results with state of the art approaches.

Hate Speech and Covert Discrimination on Social Media: Monitoring the Facebook Pages of Extreme-Right Political Parties in Spain

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the ways that overt hate speech and covert discriminatory practices circulate on Facebook despite its official policy that prohibits hate speech, and they argue that hate speech is not only explained by users' motivations and actions, but also formed by a network of ties between the platform's policy, its technological affordances, and the communicative acts of its users.
