Our organization is not really in a position to recommend any particular type of measure, but it is clear that the issue of online hate and violent speech is very important. We see that it causes really significant damage. We did a study that showed that hateful acts experienced online were generally, at least in our sample, seen as more serious and more damaging than those experienced in person, which is a bit counterintuitive.
It is very clear that an assault, a punch or any form of physical violence will have to be criminalized and punished, but it is not necessarily this form of violence that causes the most harm when we talk about hateful acts. The consequences of such acts are an often permanent damage to the sense of security, which can affect an entire community. The real issues are the damage to self-confidence, to one's place in society and to the social fabric.
While we cannot necessarily recommend any particular measure, we obviously support the idea that online hate should be treated seriously by legislators.
