One relevant section in South African legislation that specifically prohibits racism through social media is found in the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, 2000. Section 10(1) of the Act states that "No person may publish, propagate, advocate or communicate words based on one or more of the prohibited grounds, against any person, that could reasonably be construed to demonstrate a clear intention to be hurtful; be harmful or to incite harm; promote or propagate hatred." This section explicitly prohibits the dissemination of racist content through social media platforms in South Africa.
