Hate speech and political polarization are increasingly becoming present on digital platforms and often even extrapolate online spaces. Digital platforms are constantly being accused of profiting from the promotion of online hate, by implementing algorithms that only aim to attract more attention from their users. As a way to reduce the problem, different countries have been debating new ways to regulate digital platforms, which in turn have been seeking to improve public policies associated with technological approaches as a way to mitigate the problem. This debate involves a complex balance between freedom of expression and the defense of human dignity. The webinar proposed a multidisciplinary debate on hate and polarization on digital platforms with leading experts on the subject from different areas of knowledge.<\/p>\n
