Non Governmental Organization (NGO) Global Voices launched a project called Hatebase on the internet you want to identify the speeches that incite hatred and violence around the world and thus prevent its progression to genocide.
“The Hatebase is a collaborative network of hate speech, built around the idea of ??identification and prevention. Through the network, people can submit reports on hate speech, indicating the place of the world where the event happened and terms that were used, “said the founder of the initiative, Timothy Quinn, in an interview quoted by the website that hosts the project.
“The key to understanding Hatebase is looking at it as a data layer, as traffic on the map of a city,” he added, explaining that the network was built to government agencies and NGOs to identify hate speech as an indicator of regional violence that will likely happen then.
“The network asks users to contribute to ‘sightings’ [sightings related events, in this case the hearing of hate speech], according to location and language, labeled by ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation among other topics, “reads the website of the initiative, which states that there are now over” 60 000 reports of hate speech, knowing the time and place where happened. “
