Aiming to enhance the safety of their users, social media platforms enforce terms of service by performing active moderation, includ-ing removing content or suspending users. Nevertheless, we do not have a clear understanding of how efective it is, ultimately, to suspend users who engage in toxic behavior, as that might actu-ally draw users to alte...

Our main goal is to identify and study accounts that were sus-pended on one or more social platforms – namely, Twitter and Reddit – and later moved to alternative platforms such as Gab. We choose Gab because, according to previous work [65], it has laxer moderation policies and it attracts accounts suspended from major social networks. To identify ...
In this section, we present the results of our analysis aimed to address our four research questions, using the dataset presented above.

Overall, we found that users tend to become more toxic and active once they migrate to Gab, but their audience decreases in size. This paper provides a first understanding of user-level mi-gration after being banned on ...

Twitter’s Terms of Service require users to promptly delete all tweets generated by Twitter accounts as soon as they are suspended. To overcome this limitatio...
