Abstract: Each period of history is, concurrently, separated from others by communication techniques and environments. At the same time, communication environment reveals the differences and similarities between a certain historical period and other periods. The age we live in is different compared to other historical periods because of a communication environment based on high technology. The most important differences of this age are the communication tools based on high technology and the internet which enables a social, economic and communal revolution. This study discusses the social media which the newest and the most efficient of these communication environments. Fake accounts, in other words, pseudo accounts, create through the social media and hate speeches released into publication through these accounts are being discussed and analysed.
