OHPI monitors all forms of online hate. This includes both “hate speech” directed against groups, or against individuals because of they belong to an identifiable group, and cyberbullying which can involve hateful content directed against an individual for any reason, or for no apparant reason at all.
OHPI is dedicated to combating hate on the Internet. The expression of hate through the internet are a reflection of a wider problem in society. Anonymity, physical distance, and the openness of online society make the expression of hate more prevelant online than in face to face interactions in society.
