A/HRC/53/60 to racial discrimination, hatred and violence. She also plans to look at the ways in which those facing discrimination on such grounds as race, ethnicity, nationality, descent, religion, migration status and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex status experience online hate speech, including the experiences of those facing discrimination on multiple and intersecting grounds. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that disinformation can contribute to the development and dissemination of harmful racial and ethnic stereotypes and fear of difference in a way that feeds hate speech. She wishes to gather the views of stakeholders on this topic and include it within the scope of her report and recommendations to Member States and others. The Special Rapporteur will also explore the relationship between online hate speech, including but not limited to hate speech amounting to incitement to racial discrimination, hatred and violence, and offline hate speech, hate crimes and related human rights violations. 53. Alongside analysis of the different forms of hate speech, the Special Rapporteur intends to examine efforts to address online hate speech. In this regard, she intends to seek the views of stakeholders on the role of private companies in preventing and addressing online hate speech, the key gaps and challenges in responses to the phenomenon and any examples of good practices. Within such analysis, the Special Rapporteur will seek input on any examples of the effective application of the six-part threshold test of the Rabat Plan of Action on the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, and any challenges faced in the implementation of these criteria. Finally, the Special Rapporteur intends to explore the experiences of victims of online hate speech who seek access to remedies following experiences of hate speech. VII.
