🚨 New blog now available on our Hub!

In June, INACH and Textgain presented the Dutch Cyberhate Neutralization Hub at the Technology Roundtable in Dublin.

The project was selected under SIDN Fond's "From Liking to Listening" programme, which supports initiatives that strengthen online debate, counter harmful platform dynamics, and develop tools that foster connection rather than division.

During the presentation, our researchers demonstrated how automated and coordinated online networks contribute to the spread of nationalism, conspiracy theories, and harmful narratives related to immigration and religion.

Within the Dutch context, the research identified recurring patterns of Islamophobic, antisemitic, anti-immigration, and xenophobic rhetoric, alongside the circulation of narratives such as the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory and slogans like "Our People First."

The presentation also explored how coordinated actors increasingly rely on language that appears less overtly harmful, yet gradually normalises exclusionary and discriminatory ideas over time.

🎙️ The Web We Deserve

New Episode: Positive Steps Towards Change

In this episode, hosts Tamás Berecz and Jordy Nijenhuis (Dare to be Grey) discuss social media algorithms and why it is becoming increasingly difficult to control the content we see online.

They are joined by Anna from the Jewish Association Czulent in Poland to discuss EU policy on online hate speech and the role of civil society in tackling online hate.

The episode also features Christian from Romea.cz, who shares insights into online hate speech in the Czech Republic and the challenges victims face in accessing support.

🤝 Strengthening our network through peer learning

At INACH, our Mentorship Programme brings members together to exchange knowledge, strengthen capacities, and learn from one another. Through a first come, first served system, participating organisations can take part in up to two exchange visits per year, creating opportunities for practical collaboration, peer learning, and long-term partnerships.

Last month, our members Meld.Online Discriminatie (MOD) and jugendschutz.net came together as part of the programme. Over two days, they exchanged experiences and approaches to addressing online hate, discussed emerging trends and challenges, shared best practices, and explored opportunities for future collaboration. They also reflected on platform engagement, developments under the Digital Services Act, and ongoing research initiatives.

By connecting members directly, the INACH Mentorship Programme helps strengthen our network and supports a more coordinated response to online hate across Europe.

Happy World Pride from Amsterdam! 🌈

As the Netherlands celebrates World Pride, all of us at INACH stand in solidarity with LGBTQQIP2SAA+ communities around the world.

Pride is a celebration of diversity, dignity, and the freedom to be yourself. It is also a reminder that discrimination, hate speech, and violence against LGBTQQIP2SAA+ people continue to exist both online and offline.

We also recognise and stand in solidarity with Berlin Pride, celebrating the activists, organisations and communities continuing to defend LGBTQQIP2SAA+ rights, visibility and equality in Germany and across Europe.

At INACH, we remain committed to combating online hate speech targeting LGBTQQIP2SAA+ communities, alongside other groups affected by hatred and discrimination. We are equally proud to support and amplify the work of our network members, who are on the front lines of addressing these challenges every day.

From Amsterdam, we wish everyone a joyful, safe, and empowering World Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Golden Dawn was a Greek far-right, ultranationalist political party that rose to prominence during Greece's financial crisis in the early 2010s.

Although the party has largely collapsed as a political force, some former members and associated figures have continued their activities through other groups. Golden Dawn also remains an important case study in understanding how extremist movements use digital platforms to spread hate speech and extremist narratives.

In a recent article, INACH member Greek Helsinki Monitor highlights how, over the past five years, its work as a trusted partner of X, Meta, and TikTok has contributed to the suspension of several online accounts linked to the movement through ongoing monitoring and reporting.

Jugendschutz.net Annual Report, 2025 is now available in English.

The report highlights the importance of fostering AI literacy among children and adolescents, with a particular emphasis on developing critical thinking skills. It stresses the need to raise awareness of the persuasive techniques used by AI chatbots and to help young people understand how these systems operate. Equipping youth with this knowledge can better prepare them to recognise and critically engage with hate speech and AI-generated extremist content.

The report also calls on service providers to ensure that AI systems, such as Grok, incorporate robust safeguards to better protect young users.

INACH participated in No Hate Speech Week 2026 at the Council of Europe, joining nearly 500 participants from 44 countries for three days of dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange on preventing and combating hate speech.

Bringing together civil society organisations, equality bodies, policymakers, researchers, law enforcement, educators, journalists, youth organisations, and representatives of affected communities, the event highlighted one clear message: countering hate speech requires cooperation across sectors and borders.

INACH was proud to contribute to the event which also focused on the ongoing consultation for the Council of Europe's New Democratic Pact for Europe.

One of the strongest takeaways from the week was that 'hate thrives in isolation, while solutions thrive in cooperation.' Continued collaboration between institutions, civil society, technology companies, researchers, and local communities will be essential in creating a safer online environment for everyone.

A sincere thank you to the Council of Europe and all participants for creating such an inspiring space for dialogue and cooperation.
