Canberra, (IINA) - The Australian Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI) has launched an online system to fight islamophobic remarks and hate speech on social networks, SBS reported.
OHPI recorded an alarming rise in anti-Muslim remarks and decided to make every effort to fight this phenomenon. OHPI officials stressed the importance of reporting abusive remarks against Muslims on OHPI’s online system called “Samih”, which was designed to monitor anti-Islamic content.
The developer of Samih system Andre Oboler said: "The phenomenon of Islamophobia on the Internet continues to rise, and this is due to the fear of the prevailing turbulence in the Middle East in addition the growing crime rates of terrorist groups such as ISIS".
He added: "The new project helps victims of Islamophobic remarks on the Internet through providing them with the means of reporting those remarks, which may lead to the removal of such content".
