SafeNet Factsheets N°10
27/11/2024
We present the SafeNet national factsheet N°10 in English.
➡️ Social media platforms do not remove the majority of hateful comments reported as a regular user, and the trusted flagger/partner status remains essential to eliminate hateful comments.
➡️ The number of reports that received a response within 24 hours is on decrease. The issue of geoblocking persists, making hate speech content removal somewhat redundant.
➡️ There is improvement in feedback given by platforms in cases where it was previously missing. In some cases and some countries, 99% of the reports were ignored and there was 0 removal rate.
This Factsheet is part of the 24-month project SafeNet: Monitoring and Reporting for Safer Online Environments.
Joining 21 partners and coordinated by INACH (International Network against Cyber Hate), the project focuses on continuous monitoring and reporting hate speech content to the IT companies and responsible authorities and awareness raising by regular advocacy towards the social media companies, providing consolidated and interpreted data to national authorities as well as running national bi-monthly information campaigns involving different stakeholders, including IT companies, public authorities, civil society organisations and media.
