Journal Article	A Graph-Based Approach to Studying the Spread of Radical Online Sentiment View Abstract A Graph-Based Approach to Studying the Spread of Radical Online Sentiment The spread of radicalization through the Internet is a growing problem. We are witnessing a rise in online hate groups, inspiring the impressionable and vulnerable population towards extreme actions in the real world. In this paper, we study the spread of hate sentiments in online forums by collecting 1,973 long comment threads (30+ comments per thread) posted on dark-web forums and containing a combination of benign posts and radical comments on the Islamic religion. This framework allows us to leverage network analysis tools to investigate sentiment propagation through a social network. By combining sentiment analysis, social network analysis, and graph theory, we aim to shed light on the propagation of hate speech in online forums and the extent to which such speech can influence individuals. The results of the intra-thread analysis suggests that sentiment tends to cluster within comment threads, with around 75% of connected members sharing similar sentiments. They also indicate that online forums can act as echo chambers where people with similar views reinforce each other’s beliefs and opinions. On the other hand, the inter-thread shows that 64% of connected threads share similar sentiments, suggesting similarities between the ideologies present in different threads and that there likely is a wider network of individuals spreading hate speech across different forums. Finally, we plan to study this work with a larger dataset, which could provide further insights into the spread of hate speech in online forums and how to mitigate it.

Report	Countering Violent Extremism Online Understanding Adversity And Adaptation In An Increasingly Complex Digital Environment View Abstract Countering Violent Extremism Online Understanding Adversity And Adaptation In An Increasingly Complex Digital Environment In this report, we have sought to understand how violent extremists behave across an increasingly complex online ecosystem and consider the implications for how online violent extremism (VE) activity can be countered. We interrogated the variety of measures, behaviours and technology platforms that are being used by violent extremists internationally. In so doing, we identified gaps in understanding of the complex and expansive contours of the VE online landscape, and the extent to which VE online does, or does not, constitute a distinctive phenomenon that might require a different policy setting. The outcomes of the research will contribute to the undertakings of the Office of the Ambassador for Counter-Terrorism in establishing a first-rate network between Australia and its international partners that enables a ready and trusted exchange of knowledge and communication on VE and terrorism activities to maximise the effectiveness of counters.
