The Internet’s social network is an integral part of our daily lives, easily facilitating communication and information exchange. The study focuses on online “hate speech” content that becomes a global matter by asking university social-media users in Jordan about their perceptions and determining how such platforms influence users’ attitudes and feelings of safety when dealing with news-content “hate speech”. Survey-based results (n = 150) revealed that “hate speech” was easily identified by respondents because they were exposed to it. Respondents were able to alert their friends and family members about such speech. Smart devices were seen as commonly used for spreading hate speech. More strategies for confronting such speech were discussed.
