An April report from Spain’s Observatorio Español del Racismo y la Xenofobia (OBERAXE) says 85 % of the hate‑related content it monitored on social media targeted immigrants. The majority of these posts portrayed immigrants as a threat (55 %) or urged their expulsion (30 %), a sharp rise from March, when 16 % encouraged expulsion and 36 % discredited the group. The uptick follows the launch of the Extraordinary Administrative Regularisation process for irregular foreigners, which the report links to increased negative remarks about public policy.
In April the FARO system logged 39 559 racially‑motivated posts, a 20 % rise over March. Platforms removed 56 % of the reported material—down from 62 % in March. TikTok removed the largest share (86 %) and YouTube the smallest (11 %).
