Poland fights against xenophobia

Radio Poland discusses an international academic conference in Warsaw entitled “Exploring the limits of tolerance. – Jewish communities and other minorities facing anti-Semitism and xenophobia.” They spoke to our CEO Andre Oboler, who discussed his field of research and ways to reduce online hate-speech. Oboler explained that “Ideally we want these users to remove the hate pages, but if they feel that freedom of speech in the United States protects these things, at least change the settings so the page is not public. We think Facebook should, if you post online you can do it anonymously, but if you are doing it, we can put in a mechanism to force the user to either delete racist comments or to own them and have their identity connect publicly with the comment.”
