TRETAqui
TRETAqui (lit. Trap here) is a platform for reporting online aggressions and hate speech during the 2018 elections, developed by a coalition of several activist groups and campaigns. The platform offers the possibility of reporting hate speech by candidates, or by anybody else against the candidates, during the campaign period. It is requested that the online complaint be accompanied by links, screenshots and any other piece of evidence, although the anonymity of the complainant is reserved. The developers are in charge of filing the corresponding complaint with the Public Ministry since hate speech and discriminatory attacks can be punishable in many cases. The platform also offers an action guide to make the complaint independently. At the end of the elections, the platform published statistics of the more than 500 complaints received, the majority being against attacks by candidates, and in most cases involving attacks against women, LGBT + groups, and containing threats against life and integrity of these groups.
