IHRA WORKING DEFINITION OF ANTISEMITISM
“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as
hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are
directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward
Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. In addition, such
manifestations could also target the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish
collectivity”

May 31st, 2016 - EU together with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft
unveiled a code of conduct that includes a series of commitments to combat
the spread of illegal hate speech online in Europe.
Vĕra Jourová, EU Commissioner for Justice: "This agreement is an mportant
step forward to ensure that the internet remains a place of free and
democratic expression, where European values and laws are respected. I
welcome the commitment of worldwide IT companies to review the majority
of valid notifications for removal of illegal hate speech in less than 24 hours
and remove or disable access to such content, if necessary."
Code of conduct not respected
December 2016 - A report commissioned by Mrs Jourova showed that
compliance with the code is far from satisfactory.
According to this report, the companies reviewed 40% of the recorded
cases in less than 24 hours. After 48 hours the figure is more than 80%.
Many differences between countries:
* France & Germany: 50 % of racists comments deleted
* Austria: 11 %
* Italia: 4 %
