We use AI to identify, analyse, and act against online hate speech
Welcome to the European Observatory of Online Hate
This month, we examine the spread of hate speech across all baseline categories, focusing on how anti-Roma sentiment, Islamophobia, anti-LGBTQ+ bias, antisemitism, and sexism intersect to drive discrimination and violence online.
Amsterdam’s 8 November violence, driven by Middle Eastern tensions and football hooliganism, revealed deep divides, as antisemitism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and media framing intensified local and global polarisation.
This month, we explore how the October 7th Hamas-led attack on Israel has influenced online discourse and the intersections of hate speech.
We are joined by Teresa Barros-Bailey from Moonshot to discuss interventions, such as working with local partners to offer psychosocial support to individuals engaging with extremist ideologies.
We are joined by Peter Kovács from Subjective Values Foundation, focusing on providing young people with opportunities to realise creative ideas, promoting cultural diversity, and supporting education for underprivileged youth.
We are joined by Andrea Cox from Digital Intelligence. Together, we explore the work of her NGO, founded in 2017 in Slovakia, which focuses on promoting digital citizenship.
