This article assesses the effects of hate speech compared to positive and neutral content about refugees in search engines on trust and policy preferences through a survey experiment in Germany. The study uncovers that individuals with an extreme-right political ideology become more hostile toward refugees after being exposed to refugee-related hate speech in search queries. Moreover, politically biased search engines erode trust similarly to politicized sources like politicians, and positively and negatively biased content is trusted less than neutral content. However, individuals with a right political ideology trust more hate speech content than individuals with a left-wing ideology. Individuals with right-wing ideology are also almost three times as likely to intend to click on hate speech suggestions compared to left-wing counterparts.

搜索算法中有关难民的仇恨言论对政治态度的影响：一项在线实验

本文通过在德国进行的一项调查实验，评估了仇恨言论与搜索引擎中有关难民的积极和中立内容对信任和政策偏好的影响。该研究发现，具有极右政治意识形态的个人在搜索查询中接触到与难民相关的仇恨言论后，对难民变得更加敌视。此外，带有政治偏见的搜索引擎会像政客等政治来源一样侵蚀信任，并且正面和负面偏见的内容比中性内容更不值得信任。然而，具有正确政治意识形态的人比具有左翼意识形态的人更信任仇恨言论内容。具有右翼意识形态的个人点击仇恨言论建议的可能性几乎是左翼人士的三倍。
