| summary | The rise of social media has offered a fast and easy way for the propagation of disinformation and conspiracy theories. Despite the research attention that has received, disinformation detection remains an open problem and users keep sharing texts that contain false statements. In this talk I will comment on some studies on the detection of conspiracy theories. In the framework of the PAN Lab, recently we organised a challenge to discriminate between conspiracy narratives and critical thinking. Finally, I will address the other side of harmful information: hate speech. I will present the work done to analyse misogyny and sexism, also in memes, and the work done in collaboration with the Spanish observatory against racism and xenophobia. Moreover, I will briefly present a study of the usage of stereotypes against immigrants by the members of the Spanish Congress of Deputies. Hate speech is often conveyed covertly employing stereotypes and figurative language devices such as irony or sarcasm. I will finally show how hurtful humour is often employed to spread prejudice in social media towards women and feminists, the LGBTIQ community, immigrants and racially discriminated people, and overweight people. |
