“…Ray et al [ 44 ] also examined #BlackLivesMatter tweets and showed the evolution of both anti- and pro-police narratives on Twitter. This coexistence of counter- and counter-counter-narratives is also visible in the work of Drüeke and Zobl [ 45 ], who analyzed tweets with #aufschrei, which means “cry out”; the hashtag was originally used to encourage critical voices against sexual assault, but a persistent number of anti-feminist and sexist messages also employed the hashtag.…”

A dramatic increase has been registered in the number of social media posts in photo form as well as in hashtag activism. Hashtags, which manifest thoughts and feelings clearly and concisely, originated on Twitter, where the length of a post is limited; their use, however, has expanded into other social media services, including Instagram. Hashtags, which make it easy to find and express support for posts of interest, have been widely used for online activism, although they have been criticized for fostering confirmation bias. Moreover, hashtag activism in photo form has been relatively understudied. This research analyzed Instagram photos with antivaccination hashtags as an example of hashtag activism through photos. In addition, we examined how the photo features were related to public response, which was manifested via engagement and comment sentiment. The results suggest that the photos which were categorized into “text” took the largest share. It was also found that the major way of claiming was to imprint key messages that persuade people not to vaccinate with remarks from professionals on photos and provide a source of supporting information in the post text with hashtags of antivaccine intention. Various photo features showed associations with engagement and comment sentiment, but the directions of correlation were usually the opposite: these results suggest that engagement and comment sentiment are separate domains that reveal different public responses.

“…Auch wenn ein Großteil der Aktionen im öffentlichen Raum auf der Straße oder auf Plätzen stattfindet, lassen sich in den vergangenen Jahren zunehmend rein online basierte Protestaktivitäten erkennen (vgl. Elter und Köhler 2018): Von besonderer Relevanz sind dabei zunehmend die unter dem Stichwort Hashtag Activism oder Hashtag Protest diskutierten Phänomene (Drüeke und Zobl 2016). Darunter werden sämtliche kritische Debatten auf sozialen Medien verstanden, die unter einem Hashtagbegriff, -satz oder einer Hashtagwortkombination geführt werden, um soziale und politische Forderungen geltend zu machen (vgl.…”

Verbände, NGOs und soziale Bewegungen sind nicht-staatliche Akteure, die für moderne Demokratien eine relevante Vermittlungsfunktion zwischen Staat und Gesellschaft ausüben. Sie treten für soziale, ökologische, kulturelle oder politische Interessen ein. Ihre Kommunikationsinstrumente und-strategien zielen in der Regel zum einen auf politische Entscheider, die sie von ihren Positionen überzeugen, und zum anderen auf die Bürger, die sie zu Teilnahme und Engagement bewegen wollen. Dafür greifen sie auf aufmerksamkeitsversprechende Kommunikationsaktivitäten im online und offline Bereich zurück.

“…Hashtags related to feminist issues have been discussed widely in print media and television. In recent years, intense discussions about sexism and sexual violence have become a particularly prominent theme on Twitter and social media [10]. One example of using hashtags in this context is #MeToo, which was created by African-American human rights activist Tarana Burke and popularized by Alyssa Milano, to encourage women around the world to communicate their experiences of sexual harassment.…”

This article analyzes the use of the hashtag #Aufschrei from the end of February to the end of March 2019. On January 25, 2013 Anne Wizorek, a German feminist, initiated the idea of encouraging German women to use the hashtag #Aufschrei to express their personal experiences of sexism and harassment, both verbal and sexual. The data used in this study are the 10 relevant tweets with the highest engagement scores, as reported by the Keyhole online tool. Based on their content, eight of the 10 tweets still adhered to Wizorek's initial intention, which was to bring attention to acts of violence against women and sexism. Further analysis, using the method of computer-mediated discourse analysis (CMDA) of the tweets, was applied to the data corpus. This showed that the hashtag #Aufschrei was also used to promote racist views as well as in attempts to form a stereotype of refugees from Muslim majority countries as a group that commonly perpetrates violence toward women.
