The rise of disinformation and hate speech is one of the greatest challenges of our time. This can be seen in the atrocities committed by the Myanmar army, where hate speech was used to fuel the fight against minorities. Unfortunately, such hate speech is not limited to far-off lands, as we can see with the rise of attacks against immigrants and the assault on Muslims by hate criminals. These events are all fueled by hate speech.
