English Task:
The major, commonly practiced form of hate is a direct expression of negative ideas towards
target groups. In that case, users specifically address certain groups and disseminate ideas that

show hostility towards them.

Example1:

This could be exemplified by the following cases: in 2010 violence was followed by the
incitements of hatred by a public group on Facebook - “Kill aJew Day”129. The group published
the content encouraging violence against Jews.

Example2:

the Facebook group “Kick a Ginger Day” has encouraged physical attacks on students with red
hair, and consequently, such attacks have happened132. Both of the pages were subsequently
removedby the Facebook administration.

Example3:

A. Klein compares the process to money laundering, using the term“information laundering” to
describe the newly fashioned form of hate speech133. Similarly to a money laundering system
that allows criminals to disguise or conceal the results of their illegal actions, hate groups
represent their hate-based information in as a form of knowledge.

Example 4:

Facebook communitystandards provide a prohibition of hate speech, specifically – verbal

attacks and promotion ofhatred based on the basis of race, ethnicity and national origin etc 165
. However, such prohibition does not have an absolute character and speech that can be
considered hateful is allowed under certain circumstances, such as expression of
humour/satire, social commentary, raising awareness etc166.
