    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.
