In the modern world, right-wing populism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other manifestations of group-related discrimination exist as long as the internet itself. Initially, no one wanted to see any misuse of the modern, free medium for agitation against civil liberties, except those who were subjected to comments promoting Nazism, bigotry, denying the Holocaust, Islamophobia, or propagating conspiracy theories: On the one hand, victims of misanthropic comments and, on the other, administrators and editors of social media who had to come to terms with themselves, their coworkers and bosses. What should remain on our sites and what needs to be hidden or removed? Does this fit in with our netiquette protocols, discussion rules, or service words on social media, or do they need to be altered? Are content removals made proactively or reactively from social media platforms?
