This report outlines the international human rights standards relevant to the regulation of speech on social media platforms\u2014focusing specifically on the impact to the freedom of religion or belief. Governments\u2019 and social media companies\u2019 insufficient responses to online hate can result in grave human rights violations. At the same time, removing or censoring protected speech online can also impede human rights. States have a direct duty to protect human rights online, which requires balancing the removal of unlawful content with allowing protected speech. This factsheet considers the impact of social media companies\u2019 current content moderation policies on religious freedom, and explores the opportunities for those companies to incorporate international human rights standards. To further promote human rights online, this factsheet reiterates USCIRF\u2019s recommendations for how the U.S. government can play an important role in ensuring the protection of religious freedom digitally.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
