                                                                                          ABSTRACT

The study assessed hate speech on social media: the danger and crime. Hate speech has reportedly become increasingly common on social media platforms. The anonymity provided by online spaces frequently gives people the confidence to promote unpleasant ideas they may hold back from saying in face-to-face conversations. The spread of hate speech via internet networks polarizes society and prevents cooperation and productive discussion. The study revealed that Understanding the psychological and societal ramifications of hate speech on social media is essential to conducting an effective assessment. The study reviewed the concept of hate speech, social media, crime, how to combat hate speech, the prevalence of hate speech the danger and crimes of hate speech. The study concluded that hate speech on social media is a very disturbing and troubling trend that is dangerous and may have legal repercussions. The prevalence of hate speech on these platforms has serious repercussions that harm people, communities, and whole society. The risk comes from the potential for hate speech to promote prejudice, inspire violence, and split society along ideological lines. The increase in online hate speech also acts as a hotbed for radicalization, which feeds intolerance and extremism. It is crucial for authorities, technology firms, and consumers to work together to solve this issue given how quickly nasty information spreads throughout social media platforms. One of the recommendations made was that governments should work to update and strengthen legal frameworks to address hate speech on social media platforms.
