> Anti-immigration phrases about Ireland feature more frequently in US and UK social media
How do they define this? An Irish social media is implied by this phrase, so what is that?
No surprises here – when the Save the 8th, anti-abortion crew were rampant on social media, none of them lived here either.
Social Media needs heavy regulation and monitoring to stop outsiders trying to normalise hate, racisim and intolerance.
Would that not simply be the case becuase there are more people that live abroad who post about these topics in general. As in the twitter population of UK and USA is larger than Irelands small twitter sphere so when and event happens that garners outside interest there will be posts and discussions that originate outside of Ireland.
More bullshit from the irish times worst than a tabloid
I wonder when all the 10-day old, zero karma accounts which only seem to post about immigration/foreigners/crime will show up with a no doubt lengthy and well throught-out refutation of this article, backed by a plethora of primary and secondary sources?
Facts. A whole movement, astroturfed.
Well, depending on which data point you choose the headline is technically true but a bit misleading. A plurality came from Ireland. Also the means in which they used to determine this is flawed, someone using a Irish VPN would come up at Irish, USA etc.
Is anyone surprised? It’s people funding it/fueling it to push their own agendas.
