About the project _______________________________________________________________
Hate speech is not a new issue; it constitutes in fact a
criminal once in many countries. But its online dimension and the potential
negative impact on democratic development amplify its risks and gives new
reasons for concern among young people and organizations.
Intolerance and ‘hate’ have been a feature of human
society almost since time began. A number of studies have identified an
increase in these attitudes over recent years. The problem is that if there is
less tolerance of differences, and if the constraints on that intolerance are
not watched, then intolerance – and hate – will find expression, both in the
things that people do and in the things, they say.
