A comprehensive methodology for monitoring social media to address and counter online hate speech
"A Comprehensive Methodology for Monitoring Social Media to Address and Counter Online Hate Speech” aims to set up a systematic and common approach for monitoring hate speech in full respect of international human rights law and standards and based on the UN Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech. It is envisaged to help the work of various UN entities, and all relevant stakeholders engaged in tackling hate speech, including by providing examples on how to do this practically. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on what areas would benefit for further research and action to advance the fight against online hate speech globally.
