The world's largest structured repository of regionalized, multilingual hate speech
Hatebase was built to assist companies, government agencies, NGOs and research organizations moderate online conversations and potentially use hate speech as a predictor for regional violence. (Language-based classification, or symbolization, is one of a handful of quantifiable steps toward genocide.)
I'm often asked whether the world is a more hateful place today than it was yesterday. Are current levels of intolerance and xenophobia statistically meaningful – waypoints on the road to some grim Mad Max world of hypertribalism? It's a difficult question to answer without first understanding how Hatebase collects and categorizes data from public data such as social media.
