Event Description
TRAINING OPPORTUNITY:
The European Observatory of Online Hate (EOOH) is an AI-powered platform dedicated to identifying (illegal) online hate speech across all EU languages, plus Arabic and Russian. By supporting real-time tracking and reporting of harmful content on both mainstream and fringe online platforms, EOOH offers a vital resource in the fight for safer, more inclusive digital spaces. Online hate speech endangers both users and democratic discourse. The European Commission, through the Digital Services Act, empowers national stakeholders to counter this threat. Cooperation among the European Commission, Digital Services Coordinators, law enforcement, civil society, and platforms is essential for meaningful change.
The EOOH training programme brings together diverse actors among civil society, policymakers, and law enforcement across the EU together to forge lasting partnerships on combatting online hate speech.
This training is for professionals based in the EU.
