In the digital context, the virtual (public) space is positioned as the place where hate messages, solidarity, sympathy, political and ideological identification, as well as rumors and intentionally misrepresented information, are woven and shared. These discourses made public and coexist within the framework of discussions and conflict, therefore, these tensions have shop windows where symbolic forms become more visible than in other times. Thus, in the present study, communicative actions (Habermas, 1981) will be shown in the first instance, which are presented in the virtual space as intentional actions that are interpreted according to the circumstances of the social actors and that can be distorted for convenience or convenience and it show us a violent root. The objective is to problematize these significant actions on the structural framework, through a theoretical discussion on the limits of virtual space, hate speech and the agonist model (Mouffe, 2003), to contrast with the description of recent empirical evidence that has been displayed on electronic platforms as Twitter, like a social structure that encourages users to be potentially more affected by hate speech, fake news and disqualification than dialogue and understanding.
