- W3204365905 abstract "Ethnic conflict is Sri Lanka’s major catastrophe, with a history of three decades of a brutal war. In a chaotic society, with such hidden racism, social media plays a significant role in bringing out the various extremist ideas in society. This research focuses on the Easter Sunday bomb attack in Sri Lanka, which has heightened post-war ethnic tension and how influential hate speech, misinformation and racist comments, uploaded to social media by Sinhala, Muslim and Catholic ethnic minorities could be on society. To attempts to ascertain how the anti-religious posts, photos, statements and other content on social media after Easter Sunday attack, and how posting, sharing, liking and sadistic commenting has affected the people’s aggressive behaviors and other terrible activities. It also focuses on social media violence provoked by racism, sadism, barbarism in the society, to find out how social media hate speech influenced to create anti-Muslim broad public opinion. This research employs the method of both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis. Data gathering and analysis was carried out predominantly on 10 Facebook pages, 20 shared anti-religious hate contents on WhatsApp messages and groups. Using random sampling methods data was also gathered from 100 subjects through a questionnaire. SPSS was also used to analyse data. When like-minded people get organized as an organized group, the general opinion shifts toward an extreme version of their common beliefs. Their sadistic and misleading ideas have grown word by word because of the ability of fast feedback on social media. It damaged the healing process of the country, national security, and public safety physically also through manifesting psychic-extreme misconceptions and dysfunctional behaviour. This research revealed that how does social media-based violence like misinformation, hate speech provoke violent actions and how they create a deadly rioting atmosphere. Overwhelmingly the collected data proved that posting, sharing, liking irrelevant racist abusive anti-cultural and anti-religious content and links promote hatred among racial groups in society. Participants of the questionnaire also argued that they trend to marginalize and isolate Muslim persons from the society, not to provoke ethnic tension, but they were mislead by social media misinformation. They also stated that contents misguided them to think that “all Muslims are cultivating terrorism”. The propaganda on social media suggests that Muslims are trying to change the demography within different parts of Sri Lanka and try to neutralize the domination of majority Sinhalese as well as increase the influence of Muslims. From the content analysis the study foud that words such as Hambaya, Marakkalaya, and Musalmanuwa which are derogatory words for Muslims are used frequently in both the posts and the comments. There are also other deeply offensive expressions and content in these posts." @default.
