Abstract
Social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are starting to become places where people present and evaluate various events in the world such as terrorist attacks in London, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels in 2017. Moreover, these websites influence value perception of their users and readers. These new technologies allow people to exchange views at the very moment of the event and time zone and location users of the platforms do not have a significant role in this exchange process. However, this capability of these new technologies can have a negative impact on some social groups. The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the discourse in social media on refugees’ integration in their respective host societies by analysing the content in Lithuanian language Facebook pages ‘Priimsiu pabėgėlį’ (eng. ‘Refugees Welcome’) and ‘Visuomeninis komitetas prieš priverstinę imigraciją’ (eng. ‘Public Committee against Forced Immigration’).
