"This paper traces how hateful rhetoric can escalate into dehumanisation and violence, while examining AI’s role in producing and distributing propaganda. It also considers automated detection and why technical classification alone cannot resolve the tension between countering hate and protecting free expression. The proposed reporting framework helps journalists avoid repeating harmful material unnecessarily. The analysis is useful for newsroom policy, moderation decisions and reporting that informs audiences without amplifying targeted abuse." (This comment was generated using AI)
