Tech companies must do more to combat hateful behavior online. We have joined @amprog, @colorofchange, @freepress, @lawyerscomm and @nhmc for the official launch of #ChangeTheTerms. A movement to reduce hate online. changetheterms.org
We're live now launching #ChangeTheTerms. Watch here:
These recommended policies balance the desire to disrupt hateful activities online with the desire for free expression and privacy. #ChangeTheTerms is asking internet companies to adopt the model terms to address hateful activities on their services. changetheterms.org/terms
What are hateful activities?
Those that incite/engage in violence, intimidation, harassment, threats or defamation targeting an individual/group based on their actual/perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability.
We have documented how hateful rhetoric online can turn into real life violence, including the tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year. Internet companies must do more to ensure that they are doing their part to combat extremism and hate. splcenter.org/news/2018/10/2…
