Fake News and Hate Speech: Language in Common

Berta Chulvi, Alejandro Toselli, Paolo Rosso

In this paper we raise the research question of whether fake news and hate speech spreaders share common patterns in language. We compute a novel index, the ingroup vs outgroup index, in three different datasets and we show that both phenomena share an "us vs them" narrative.
