are the following:

while investigating the possibility to distinguish, amongst monitored contents, between potentially illegal hate-related speeches and
potentially non illegal hate-related speeches.
- To provide policy makers with actionable information that can be used to promote policies that mitigate the spread of on-line hate speech.
- To provide ordinary citizens with useful tools that can help them deal with on-line hate speech or bystanders or even as victims.
- To transfer best practices among Member States.
- To set up a reporting infrastructure that will connect concerned citizens with police forces and which will enable the reporting of illegal hate-related speech.
- Inthemis's role:
Lead of the work stream and tasks relating to legal and ethical issues (definition of illegal hate speech, comparative analysis of the
legislations of ten EU countries, analysis of the applicable legal and ethical framework, legal and ethical compliance of research with privacy
