Center for Countering Digital Hate estimates 277 million more instances of hate speech and other harmful content each year .

The main driver for a potential surge in hate speech is an important change to how Meta says it will identify some harmful content.

Last month , Meta announced sweeping changes to the community guidelines that define what sorts of speech it does and doesn’t allow.

LGBTQ+ advocacy group GLAAD said Meta ’s shift to user reports is a radical departure from industry best practices.

“Putting the responsibility on those who are suffering the abuse to also do the moderation work for this multibillion dollar company is a gross abdication,” Eisenstat said.
