Spain wants to track online hate. Spain says it plans to launch HODIO, a new AI system that monitors hate speech on social media. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the goal is to measure how hateful content appears, spreads, and affects people online. HODIO stands for Footprint of Hatred and Polarisation. The tool will track hate speech across digital platforms and publish its findings, with the government comparing it to how countries measure carbon emissions. The move comes with broader plans for tighter social media oversight, including possible limits for younger teens. Could public data like this actually push platforms to take hate speech more seriously? Source: Reuters #spain #hatred #socialmedia #government
