New government research shows more than half of Australians between ages 12 and 17 have witnessed racist or hateful comments about cultural or religious groups online.
The issue is reflected in new research commissioned by the federal Office of the eSafety Commissioner and the Department of Education and Training.
Almost 2,500 people across Australia between ages 12 and 17 were surveyed in the study.
The results reveal young people from different religious and cultural backgrounds, Indigenous people and youths who identify as LGBTI are the most frequent targets of online hate.
