论文摘要
激进组织已使用算法和在线平台促进的互动来招募弱势个人的事业。这导致暴力事件的急剧发展和在线话语恶化。 Manosphere是激进的反女权主义社区的集合,就是这样的群体,由于它们的迅速增长和日益暴力的现实世界爆发引起了人们的关注。在本文中,我们研究了参与女权主义话语的Reddit用户与Reddit上的Manosphere社区之间的社会交往,以了解与采用极端主义意识形态相关的特征的发展过程。通过使用有关激进化心理学的现有研究,我们跟踪特定类型的社会参与与动力学的影响如何影响与激进化相关的特征的发展。我们的发现表明:(1)即使加入Manosphere的简单行为,也对用户的语言和前景特征产生了重大影响,(2)Manosphere Elites是极其有效的激进性状的繁殖传播者,即使在Manosphere之外也会增加它们,并且(3)社区感知会严重影响用户的行为。最后,我们研究了我们的发现如何帮助起草社区和平台审核政策,以帮助减轻在线激进化问题。
The algorithms and the interactions facilitated by online platforms have been used by radical groups to recruit vulnerable individuals to their cause. This has resulted in the sharp growth of violent events and deteriorating online discourse. The Manosphere, a collection of radical anti-feminist communities, is one such group which has attracted attention due to their rapid growth and increasingly violent real world outbursts. In this paper, we examine the social engagements between Reddit users who have participated in feminist discourse and the Manosphere communities on Reddit to understand the process of development of traits associated with the adoption of extremist ideologies. By using existing research on the psychology of radicalization we track how specific types of social engagement with the Manosphere influence the development of traits associated with radicalization. Our findings show that: (1) participation, even by the simple act of joining the Manosphere, has a significant influence on the language and outlook traits of a user, (2) Manosphere elites are extremely effective propagators of radical traits and cause their increase even outside the Manosphere, and (3) community perception can heavily influence a user's behavior. Finally, we examine how our findings can help draft community and platform moderation policies to help mitigate the problem of online radicalization.
