The paper shows the importance of special knowledge for the correct qualification of acts related to the incitement of social, racial, national or religious hatred or enmity in the context of the general prevention of their degeneration into terrorism and genocide. It has been established that most often errors during the examination are associated with the expansion of the boundaries of the expert's competence, the procedure for organizing the examination and with the peculiarities of identification. The conclusion is substantiated that the identification and accounting of typical errors made during the examination of materials related to incitement to hatred or enmity will help to increase the evidentiary level of expert opinions while reducing the amount of time spent on its conduct. As a result of the conducted research, the need to develop a universal mechanism for evaluating game content in order to identify signs of extremism and terrorism has been identified.
