Very interesting look at how the police collect and analyse ‘hate’ on Twitter - thanks @zeno001 
We can see the challenges inherent in deciding what is ‘hateful’.
And how we can be ‘mapped’.
Problems with misclassification of tweets
And caveats.
We need to keep a watchful eye on this. If part of what is driving the focus on ‘hate’ crimes is easier collection of stats, then a police bot account collecting hate via algorithm is presumably an attractive option.
