Overview

Survey reveals rare bystander reactions and higher withdrawal after online hate exposure among Danish social media users, highlighting collective action problems in crowd moderation.

Key Points

  • User-assisted crowd moderation rarely manifests against online hate, and witnessing abusive behavior primarily increases personal withdrawal motivations.
  • Among 24,996 surveyed users, costly bystander reactions remain extremely rare, showing an n-shaped correlation with exposure to online hate.
  • Preregistered survey analysis of social media users demonstrates a collective action problem, indicating that individual costs deter crowd moderation.
