Hate has no place in our societies.
It fuels division, conflict, and undermines human rights.
On International Day for Countering Hate Speech, we reaffirm our commitment to stamping it out, in all its forms.
Europe is acting through concrete frameworks such as the ECHR, Digital Services Act, and laws banning incitement to hatred.
Say #NoToHate, today, and every day.

@EUCommission and you know what will be my response: what is the EU commission going to do about LGTBQ-free zones in central Europe?
How do you think people from the LGTBQ community feels in those villages and cities? How is that not hateful?
Yes, homosexuality is officially forbidden in the United Arab Emirates according to the law. But at least here are no big signs placed when you enter a city of a village that proudly shouts out that it has no LGTBQ people.
@xior112 that is extremely pleasant to hear. Thank you for this update. Because there’s a difference between forbidding homosexuality by law, and putting up boards and signs saying that you don’t want those people. The first thing is a stupid law, the second is hate speech.
So thank you for this reassuring update and correction.
European Commission
