π¬ π ***Call for Papers: DHOW 2026 β Diffusion of Harmful Content on
the Web**
*https://dhow-workshop.github.io/2026/2/
*Co-located with WebSci 2026 | Braunschweig, Germany | May 26β29, 2026*
β¨ Weβre excited to announce the extended CFP for the DHOW 2026 workshop!
Join us in tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our digital
age: the **spread of harmful content across platforms, languages, and
formats**.
π Why this matters:
With the rise of AI, social media, and global connectivity, harmful
content β from misinformation π° and hate speech π₯ to deepfakes π
and self-harm triggers π β spreads faster than ever.
But hereβs the catch: researchers often study these issues in
isolation β one platform, one language, one type.
π This leads to **"harmful content hopping"** β spreaders move to
evade detection.
π― Our mission?
Bring together diverse research under one umbrella π€ to:
- Study **cross-platform, multi-lingual, multimodal** harmful content
- Combine **text, image, audio, and video analysis** πΌοΈππ₯
- Explore the role of **Generative AI** π€ and **Explainable AI** π§
in detection & defense
- Understand **psychological impacts** π§ and **user experiences** π₯
- Address urgent topics like **elections, war, and disinformation** in
2025 π
π Weβre looking for scientific contributions on:
- π Analysis of hate speech, misinformation, disinformation,
self-harm, offensive content
- β
Computational fact-checking & AI-driven detection
- π€ Role of Generative AI in mitigating harm
- π Deepfakes & their societal impact
- π Multi-lingual & cross-platform detection (e.g., spam, bots, trolls)
- π§ͺ Qualitative & quantitative studies on mental health effects
- π₯ LLM-assisted data collection & annotation
- π₯ User studies & human-AI collaboration in defense
- 𧩠Explainable AI for transparency & trust
π
Important Dates:
- π
Submission deadline: **March 15, 2026 (AOE)**
- β
Notification of acceptance: **March 29, 2026**
