The man fighting against online hate speech in India

Over the past month, we have seen between 2–4 hate events on a daily basis, which is almost double of what we saw in the first half of 2023. We reported nearly 20 posts but none were taken down until journ*lists reached out to the respective companies.

When hateful content is posted on platforms in a language other than English, the chances of them taking action reduce significantly. The only way to prevent this is for platforms to have more moderators track and monitor content in different languages.

We are observing a significant surge in anti-Muslim content, particularly in states where the [ruling] BJP's electoral support is relatively fragile. Patterns are discernible in states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, which held elections this year.

Lmao they must've done this interview before elections. Example of fragile support

It was so close

It's physically and emotionally draining, especially for our Muslim team members, who have to listen to all the hate directed at their community on a daily basis. The team worries about the correlation between hate speeches and its real-world impact on our friends and families in India.
