(ANSA) - Rome, December 6 - Lower House Speaker Laura Boldrini on Tuesday reiterated a call for action against Web-based hate, saying social networks had failed "to fight hatred on the Internet" and denouncing fresh attacks against her. "The European Commission, despite deals reached in May with the Web giants, says today that in the last six months only 28% of messages flagged as hate speech were removed. And meantime hate, fuelled by the wind of disinformation, is spreading".

Boldrini was recently praise for publishing a stream of shocking hate messages she has received.
