According to André Glucksmann: “Hate is the perfect answer, an argument that answers all questions, that ignores the facts, and sees in every obstacle the effect of a conspiracy. Hate accuses without knowing, judges without understanding, condemns according to one’s own pleasure; does not respect anything. ” Social networks are the digital highway where words full of hatred and violence circulate effectively unpunished. Why does this happen? Are social networks really generating and nurturing such a negative sentiment? Is there a “modesty of the good” that hinders the spread of positivity and reasonableness? How can make “being social”, and therefore living in a way that respects the community, become a shared value, a challenge to be overcome in the awareness that “the cause of hatred lies only in the hater”. At IF2018, we will analyse the phenomenon from different points of view in order to understand, deepen and search for the way to make the web once again a place to express yourself freely.
