Why?

It’s important for news organisations to instigate online discussion, but dealing with the immediacy of user feedback is not an easy task – especially when discussion turns offensive. Using PropagHate’s API supported by machine learning techniques, news organisations can automatically identify hate speech within comments, but also predict the likelihood of a news piece to generate such comments in the first place.
