The Ebb and Flow of Controversial Debates on Social Media
Published 17 Mar 2017 in cs.SI and physics.soc-ph | (1703.05994v1)
Abstract: We explore how the polarization around controversial topics evolves on Twitter - over a long period of time (2011 to 2016), and also as a response to major external events that lead to increased related activity. We find that increased activity is typically associated with increased polarization; however, we find no consistent long-term trend in polarization over time among the topics we study.
