In recent years, Germany has experienced a massive rise in popularity of
|
|
|
|
|
the so-called 'New Right', both in the form of political parties
|
|
|
|
|
(\"Alternative für Deutschland\") as well as in non-parliamentary
|
|
|
|
|
movements (e.g., \"Pegida\", \"Nein zum Heim\"). A major success factor of
|
|
|
|
|
this New Right seems to be their social media activities, especially
|
|
|
|
|
their usage of Facebook.
|
|
|
|
|
In this talk, we present our findings from two research papers that
|
|
|
|
|
analyze structural patterns in the activities of more than one million
|
|
|
|
|
users on the Facebook pages of the major German political parties, as
|
|
|
|
|
well as more than 200 thousand users on rightwing \"Nein zum Heim\"
|
|
|
|
|
protest pages.
