OsloMet researcher Yuri Kasahara used machine learning to analyze 12 years of Facebook and X comments in Norway, finding that anti-Muslim hate speech grew from roughly 1% to 4% of online conversations, concentrated among a small group of users who often eventually stop posting hateful content. The study suggests that addressing hate speech requires dialogue and engagement with individuals rather than control strategies alone.
