|
||
|
||
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.
