We use AI to identify, analyse, and act against online hate speech

Welcome to the European Observatory of Online Hate
In February, we examine the proliferation of hate speech, emphasising how anti-Roma prejudice, anti-muslim hate, anti-LGBTQ+, antisemitism, and sexism narratives are evolving.
We analysed toxicity levels and violent rhetoric to determine whether online hate was disproportionately directed at certain parties or political figures.
In January, we examine the proliferation of hate speech, emphasising how anti-Roma prejudice, Islamophobia, anti-LGBTQ+ bias, antisemitism, and sexism narratives are evolving.
How does online hate fuel real-world violence? And how do offline events feed back into the digital space, amplifying division? We explore the dangerous cycle between social media and the streets.
How do we create safer, more transparent online spaces? Is the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) the solution the world has been waiting for? We explore Europe’s groundbreaking legislation aimed at creating safer and more transparent online spaces.
We are joined by Teresa Barros-Bailey from Moonshot to discuss interventions, such as working with local partners to offer psychosocial support to individuals engaging with extremist ideologies.
