Abstract

A research report (Utrecht University / Data School) analysing nearly 50 million messages on Twitter and Telegram to examine the dynamics between political debate in the Dutch House of Representatives and the reactions, comments, and framing it provokes on social media. A central focus is tracking how threatening and radicalising language moves between parliamentary politics and online platforms.
