Hate speech is a growing problem on social media, but it can be hard to decide what is legitimate commentary or discussion and what is hate speech. And the various social media platforms don't make it easy for people to report hate speech.
Lifehacker has published a guide to identifying and reporting hate speech on social media, with detailed examples for the most popular sites, Twitter and Facebook. I liked the section on what to do if you get ignored and how you can escalate the process.
This article is a good one to bookmark for future reference. As we have elections coming up in Canada (this year) and the US (next year), as well as the continuing Brexit disaster in the UK, I'm sure we'll be seeing more problematic content being published.
