It's now official: There are more white nationalists and neo-Nazis on Twitter than members and advocates of ISIS.
The George Washington University's Program on Extremism conducted a study, led by J.M. Berger, comparing and analyzing the use, reach and scope of white nationalists, Nazi sympathizers and ISIS supporters on Twitter.
The report, published on Thursday, revealed that the follower growth of "major white nationalist movement and organization accounts" grew by 600% from 3,542 in 2012 to 25,406 followers in 2016. The study also found white nationalists surpassing ISIS in metrics from tweets per day to follower growth.
The most common theme for white nationalists on Twitter is "white genocide," or the belief that white men are endangered by diversity, according to the report.
