Abstract

It is essential to analyse the effects of hate speech disseminated on social media these days, as well as comprehend the reasons and current measures in place to try to address the issue. The background and development of hate speech on social media will be objectively assessed in this work for the reader to achieve a better understanding of the issue and analyse the efficiency of the restorative practice applied to address hate speech on social media. This work will be evaluated by the appreciation of reliable research and survey made with social media users to produce accrued research.
