Spain to launch tool to monitor hate on social media, PM Sanchez says​

The new tool, called HODIO — an acronym in Spanish for Footprint of Hatred and Polarisation — will allow the government to systematically track the presence, amplification and impact of hate speech online, Sanchez said.
Online hate was ‌causing ⁠deep divisions in Spanish society, he said, and it was important to start talking about the "footprint of hate" in the same way society discusses the carbon footprint. ( 🤣 )
"We ⁠want to start talking about the impact of hate. When something is measured, it ceases to be invisible," he ⁠said.
