Hatebase

Launched on 25 March 2013, Hatebase is the world’s largest online repository of structured multilingual, usage-based hate speech. It is an attempt to create a repository of words and phrases that researchers can use to detect the early stages of genocide and remains in active development. Hatebase offers two main features: a Wikipedia-like interface which allows users to classify and record location-specific “sightings”, and an authenticating API that allows developers to mesh Hatebase data with other tools for genocide prevention.
