Fight Against Hate Launched

On the evening of December 9th, as International Human Rights Day grew close, The Hon Paul Fletcher MP pressed the big red button to launch “Fight Against Hate” a new reporting tool created by Australia’s Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI). The software, which people can now register a free account with at http://fightagainsthate.com, allows members of the public to report online content that contains a wide variety of hate speech. The software currently handles report of content on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, and the hate can take the form of antisemitism, anti-Muslim hate, misogyny, racism against Indigenous Australians, homophobia, cyber-bullying and others forms of hate.
