Hate Speech

Abstract

ETH Zurich welcomes and encourages researchers to share their work with a wider public and society on Social Media platforms such as Instagram or LinkedIn. However, apart from important knowledge transfer and constructive dialogue, scientists also experience hate speech online, albeit rarely. This means that they are being criticised, discriminated against and sometimes even threatened, not only in relation to their research, but also because of their person.
