EU Internet Forum against terrorist content and hate speech online: Document pool

10 March 2016

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

"Since last year, we have been reporting on the “EU Internet Forum” set up by the European Commission to fight terrorism and hate speech online. In reality, the IT-Forum gathers two initiatives: one run by the Home Affairs Directorate General of the European Commission, on “terrorism”; and one run by the Justice and Consumers Directorate General, on “hate speech” (sometimes illegal “hate speech”, sometimes non-specific “hate speech”).

Since the initial meetings of both initiatives took place behind closed doors and the meetings of the terrorism part still do, we have also been busy trying to get information on the nature of the discussions and participants involved. This document pool gives you an overview of the activities of the EU Internet Forum and a list of documents we received upon request from the European Commission."
