Online Hate-Speech and Disinformation in Post-Election India

Online hate speech against Muslims, Christians, Dalits, and other marginalized groups in India has long been endemic. These have often resulted in systemic and deadly violence against minorities. While election disinformation and hate speech is subjected to enhanced scrutiny, what happens when the spotlight finally moves? What are the qualitative and quantitative shifts that can be observed? What can be done by platforms when elected politicians and holders of some of the highest offices in the land are credibly accused of inciting hate both offline and online? The panel discussion focuses on the theoretical, digital, and methodological challenges of delineating and moderating hate-speech against minorities and marginalized groups on social media, bringing together perspectives from academia, industry, and civil society activists. Panelists: Farzaneh Badei, Founder, Digital Medusa Clifton D'Rozario, General Secretary, All India Lawyers' Association for Justice Raqib Hameed Naik, Founder, India Hate Lab

The question of 🇵🇸 Palestinian liberation is in reality a question of our own liberation. Liberation from Fascism, Imperialism, and Capitalism.

We conclude Perspectives' two day seminar on the 'Genocidal Impulses of Renewed Imperialism' with the hope that we will be able to learn from the courage displayed by Palestinians and all victims of imperialism around the world.

A special note of thanks to the panelists and keynote speakers.

It wasn't/isn't anti-colonialism that leads to antisemitism. It is colonialism that is its driving force.

🇩🇪 Is the last country that should ever be allowed to speak about this stuff. Recognise that the forces that drove Nazism are still the dominant framework in your society.

You are the one responsible for what is happening. Your party is the one encouraging the branding of people as 'infiltrators'. You are only reacting because videos of the horrific violence came out in public. The events happened long ago.
