Abstract: In recent years, the world has seen a rapid increase in the use of social media platforms by violent extremist groups. Militants espousing radical ideologies have been using online platforms to communicate, disseminate propaganda, and in some cases, plan violent acts. In response, social media companies have suspended accounts and taken down content containing violent propaganda and hate speech. While these efforts have reduced the availability of such content online, little is known about what happens to suspended individuals after being banned from these platforms. Drawing on unique data that includes information on individuals who have accounts both on Twitter (a mainstream platform) and Gab (a fringe platform favored by white supremacy extremists), I show that Twitter suspensions increase engagement with hate speech on Gab.
