Hatred on social media

In this era of the internet, a large number of our citizens use different social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. It's heartening that many of them use these platforms for various purposes, from business to even spreading knowledge and awareness. However, it should also be noted that many users are ill-motivated. They intentionally spread disinformation, hatred and often make derogatory and fanatic remarks. This newspaper has published some articles on this issue.

Facebook has a lot to do in this regard. It should employ more Bengali-proficient operators who could flag the abusive comments.
