"Social networks have multiplied the importance of hate to inconceivable levels," said José Antonio Ibáñez-Martín at the University of Navarra. The Vice President of the International University of La Rioja and director of the Spanish Journal of Pedagogy offered the lecture "Does hate enchant?", within the summer course 'Emotions, ethics and Education' of the University of Navarra; attended by about 20 students.

During the session, which focused on the role of hate and how it can eliminate any trace of humanity, the specialist explained that it is capable of growing and captivating through the use of social networks: "Hate crimes, abuse, harassment and online extremism are all concepts in vogue today". He also indicated that in today's society there is a very important presence of hate through several examples of recent news that do not correspond to countries in the process of development, but to cultures with a great civic tradition.

Referring to a report of the UK House of Commons, Ibáñez-Martín detailed on the dissemination of hate through social networks: "On numerous occasions the removal of hate material is requested, and yet the percentage in which it is removed due to implications with hate is very low". On the other hand, he added that in Public discourse there is an expansion of hate that is strengthened by the use of social networks as an extreme and fast vehicle of dissemination.
