GTTO – Get The Trolls Out

Undivided Action on Divisive Speech

AT A GLANCE

This initiative marks the continuation of a project which has been funded by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour (DRL) of the U.S. Department of State since 2015. “Get the Trolls Out! – Undivided Action on Divisive Speech” aims to empower civil society actors in Europe to leverage multiple media platforms (on- and offline) in order to counter intolerance and xenophobia targeting minority groups including Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. This phase builds on the programme’s unique track record in monitoring online hate speech and using the findings to challenge the perpetrators or debunk inflammatory rhetoric. It delivers social media-based campaigns to promote key messaging and help build a healthier ecosystem online. The project partners also continue to engage with social media companies in an effort to enhance their community standards and operating policies.

OBJECTIVES

Project’s expected impact

The goal of the programme is to reduce and degrade hate speech, discrimination and intolerance based on religious grounds in the European media space, with a specific focus on combating antisemitism.
