Abstract

This study aimed to monitor and analyze the behavior of commenting on news pages in the social network during the Corona pandemic “Covid-19” from an ethical and linguistic perspective, through the application on Elyom elsaba and Masrawy pages on Facebook, using qualitative content analysis to study the comments of followers on the contents published during The first wave of the Corona Covid-19 pandemic, and to identify the mechanisms of control and regulation used to review and filter these comments - if any - within the framework of the discussion ethics entry for Habermas.
The study concluded that the comment areas on the two pages under study represented an outlet and a place for spreading anxiety, fear and tension that dominated the society during those periods, and through those arenas different types of feelings that differed in different periods of analysis. It was clear throughout the study that the pressures caused by the Corona pandemic were a reason behind the emergence of immoral linguistic and behavioral models on the commentary arenas, and the results also confirmed that the language used in the comment was weak, and the most prominent forms of moral deviations were "verbal abuse, abuse and defamation, ridicule, sarcasm, accusations and spreading rumors." The results of the study also confirmed that these pages may try to have a role in controlling and regulating the dialogue taking place through them, but with the large amount of these comments, they sometimes lose control.
