Don’t be passive!
Standing idly by the acts of hate speech in the Internet is a consent to humiliation, bullying or a word fight. When you see it, react! Thanks to our plugin, reporting the cases of hateful comments and content will be easy and intuitive. Before you even notice, the Internet, because of your actions, will be a friendlier place.
About us
Hate Alert is a simple Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox plugin, which enables you to report hateful contents with just one mouse click. Each report is verified within 3 working days. After accepting your report, the hateful content is sent to the website’s administrator. Should any more serious reports reach us, we will pass them forward directly to the police and prosecutor’s office.
What exactly is this “hate speech”? You’ll find out more from the materials of Humanity in Action - HERE.
