European Observatory of Online Hate: Tracking Online Harmful Content Across Europe
Textgain is the coordinator of The European Observatory of Online Hate (EOOH), a platform designed to help tackle the rise in harmful online content. It uses a comprehensive, multi-platform monitoring system that operates in all European languages, Arabic and Russian, and monitors over 20 social media platforms.
Our approach
Working with our partners, we are creating a framework that can integrate diverse data formats to provide one cohesive monitoring system. With a community that includes experts from academia, NGOs, and law enforcement, we consult with a wide range of potential users to make sure we develop a system capable of serving a wide range of needs and areas of expertise. We ensure the framework can scale up but also remain efficient as it expands in the coming years. Our framework incorporates advanced bug diagnostics tools to identify and resolve issues throughout the duration of the project, ensuring that the EOOH can continually improve and adapt.
What impact is it having?
By monitoring and analysing harmful content across multiple platforms, the EOOH is now helping identify trends, inform policy and support interventions to curb the spread of harmful content.
