Europol has supported 18 European law enforcement agencies in the 2024 Referral Action Day (RAD) on hate speech and incitement to violence targeting ethnoreligious groups. Spanish and Hungarian authorities led the action, which resulted in a record number of online content being identified.
In total, 12 countries collected over 6 350 links from 46 online platforms and 20 websites that incite violence or contain hate speech against ethnoreligious groups. This includes material produced or disseminated by organisations, individuals or groups containing illegal hate speech, such as anti-Semitic hate speech, as well as material celebrating or calling for violent or terrorist acts against an ethnoreligious group.
