Before tomorrow's conference “Unboxing Hate Speech” opens to the public, civil society representatives from the European Council member states are talking online about their experiences of hate speech, discussing challenges and looking for solutions. On this first day of the conference, the aim is to develop recommendations for European policymakers. The conference is being hosted by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the German Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. Both ministers will join the conference on the second day to discuss these issues with participants.
