  Hi @lauriewjn,

  Is there a process to report sites that promote hate speech?

  There is yes. If you’re logged in to a WordPress.com account, simply click the three dots to the right of the “Follow” link in the bottom right corner of the screen — you will see the option to “Report this content”.

  This guide contains more information about reporting a site:

  Report a Site

  Thanks!
