Few anti-immigration users dominate most UK-based Twitter anti-immigration content with rapid spread, high polarization

A study of more than 200,000 tweets from 2019 and 2020 finds that anti-immigration content spreads faster than pro-immigration tweets, and that a few users disproportionally generated most of the UK-based anti-immigration content. Andrea Nasuto and Francisco Rowe of the Geographic Data Science Lab at the University of Liverpool, UK present these findings in PLoS ONE on September 4, 2024.
