Evaluation in Online Safety, a discussion of hate speech classification and safety measures (Ofcom)

In this study, the body of research on the efficacy of various safety precautions taken by some internet platforms to curb hate speech is scrutinized. We emphasize the main conclusions, point out any gaps, and make recommendations to help guide future studies. Specifically, the significance of evaluating hate speech classification accuracy by analyzing our own hate speech classifiers’ accuracy and considering the consequences for safety measure efficacy studies is considered.
