Practical guide on online hate

Point de Contact (part of the French SIC) provides the public with the practical guide "Incitement to hate, violence, or discrimination online (race, religion, gender, LGTBQI+)".

This resource provides the legal definition of content that provokes discrimination, hatred, or violence against a person or group of people because of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or because of their membership or non-membership in an ethnic group, nation, race, or religion.

After simplifying the relevant provisions and references to French law to ensure accessibility and understanding, the practical guide outlines the appropriate reflexes to adopt in order to protect oneself and combat online hate, in addition to raising awareness about the importance of reporting.

Reporting this kind of content and the people responsible for it is a fundamental civic responsibility—one that each individual is called upon to uphold.
