On the occasion of the International Day Against Hate Speech, our company reaffirms its commitment to the rule of law and to our role in combating all forms of discrimination and incitement, especially in light of the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
In the age of artificial intelligence, the spread of hate speech through algorithms and platforms is accelerating, transforming digital spaces into open arenas for digital conflict. Here, legal and technical awareness is essential to keep pace with these phenomena and establish controls that protect human dignity and fundamental rights.
The UN Strategy Against Hate Speech provides a crucial framework for cooperation between governments, the private sector, and civil society to combat this speech without compromising freedom of expression. This balance is the essence of the law and the core of our work.
Because hate speech often precedes more serious violations—from societal violence to grave crimes—combating it is a collective and preventative responsibility.
On this day, we salute all the legal, technical, and awareness-raising efforts dedicated to protecting human dignity, and we affirm that the law must remain an instrument for safeguarding peace, not a weapon that legitimizes hatred.
Together, we build a fairer digital space, one less rife with hate. Together, we choose the rule of law… not incitement.
