How Social Media Giants Turn A Blind Eye To Hindu Nationalist Hate Speech
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2023-05-13

Social media giants are under fire for turning a blind eye to Hindu nationalist hate speech, allowing divisive content to spread like wildfire. Kajal Shingala, a charismatic figure in the Hindu nationalist movement, skyrocketed to fame by posting inflammatory content against Muslims and detractors of the BJP party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. From the beginning, it was clear that Shingala was pro-BJP, pro-Modi, and pro-Hindutva while attacking critics of Modi and the BJP and engaging in hate speech against Muslims, Christians, and even secular Hindus, whom she described as a “blot” and “curse” on Hinduism. Since then, she has expanded her social media presence to other sites, like YouTube and Twitter, with more than 36,000 subscribers and 123,000 followers, respectively. But Shingala had the most presence on Facebook, with more than 369,000 followers as of 2022. Although her accounts faced initial bans due to hate speech violations, Shingala's popularity continued to soar, even attracting attention from prominent politicians, even including a follow on Twitter from Modi himself. As she passionately calls for economic boycotts against Muslims, critics argue that the Indian government and social media behemoths like Meta, Twitter, and YouTube must take responsibility for the unchecked rise of influencers like Shingala, who fuel hatred and conspiracy theories.
