New York State Police will expand the scale of their monitoring of “negativity” and “hate speech” online, as part of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s $75 million plan to tackle the rise in “hate crimes” related to the Middle Eastern war.
“We’ve not seen this level of hate crimes and fear since Sept. 12, 2001,” Ms. Hochul said at a news conference on Monday, following an emergency meeting with the state’s Jewish community leaders and local and federal law enforcement officials.
