With the slogan ‘Share Respect – Stop Online Hate Speech!', the campaign will focus on the notions of hate speech and respect. What is hate speech, how can I recognise it and how is it different from a legitimate opinion? What is respect and how can I learn to communicate in a respectful manner? Another focus is the fight against hate speech through reaction and prevention: how and where can I report online hate speech? What techniques can I use to counter hate speech in social networks? These questions will be addressed on a monthly basis with more detailed information about techniques which can be used to challenge hate speech or about specific forms of discrimination such as sexism or racism.
New campaign in Luxembourg: Share Respect – Stop Online Hate Speech!
