KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — The number of hateful tweets has increased over the past three months, says data from Artificial Intelligence prototype #TrackerBenci, created by the Content Forum and The Centre for the first International Day for Countering Hate Speech.

“In March, #TrackerBenci recorded 2,740 tweets identified as hateful and this figure rose to 3,088 in April and went down slightly to 3,004 in May,” a statement released by GO Communications on the behalf of the Content Forum said. Chief Executive Officer of The Centre Khairil Izamin Ahmad said that part of the effort to counter hate speech was invested in a resource centre through which the public can learn about local common cyber hate speech trends.

The centre’s website also has a Benci Calculator, which content creators may use to check whether a phrase contains hateful speech and if so, what type of hate speech it is.
