A/78/538 (e) Invest in developing diverse cultural and linguistic knowledge to ensure a more geographically equitable implementation of efforts to address online racist hate speech; (f) Consider corporate social responsibility initiatives that leverage their powerful platforms to promote digital literacy, counterspeech and community initiatives to prevent and address online racist hate speech. 64. The Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations to other actors: (a) The ease with which individuals can communicate and post content on digital platforms is a factor in the origination and dissemination of online racist hate speech. However, it can conversely create opportunities for individuals to play a powerful role in preventing and addressing online racist hate speech. Individuals, as recommended by the United Nations, should refrain from making any hateful comments; fact-check online content; speak up and challenge hateful racist comments; support those targeted; report content that breaks community guidelines or would amount to incitement; publicly denounce all instances of advocacy of hatred that incites to violence, discrimination or hostility; educate others about online hate speech; and commit to community projects that address online racist hate speech; 62 (b) United Nations actors should support Member States in implementing the above recommendations, as well as in making efforts to both enhance international cooperation and improve research and disaggregated data collection. United Nations actors should make efforts to integrate the specific vulnerabilities and harm to those from racial and ethnic groups into efforts to prevent and address online racist hate speech; (c) Civil society organizations should continue and expand their work to prevent and address online racist hate speech; build societal support for plurality and freedom of expression; and provide support to those targeted; (d) National human rights organizations should contribute to efforts to prevent and address online racist hate speech in a variety of ways, including by supporting efforts to conduct further research and collect disaggregated data; receiving complaints of online racist hate speech and addressing barriers to access to justice; and contributing to initiatives focused on counterspeech, education, community projects and steps to build societal support for plurality. __________________ 62 22/22 United Nations, “Take action: engage – how to deal with hate speech?”.
