    Abstract:
    This note will discuss hate speech, why it’s dangerous, and how it can spread without being detected. This leads to the exploration of existing international, national, and company regulations regarding online hate speech, the identification of holes and inadequacies, and ultimately suggestions for moving forward in a digital age. The note concludes that co-regulation between communities, nation-states, social media companies, and international treaties would facilitate a cohesive and comprehensive shift, and fill-in the regulatory holes that are present today without sacrificing the individualized nature of national laws and freedom of speech.
