Question:

Using municipalities (i.e., towns, cities) in Germany as participants, researchers found an association between the numbers of anti-refugee posts on social media and the numbers of violent acts against refugees (Müller & Schwarz, 2018).

Does this correlation indicate that online hate speech causes violent crime in a community?
