The results of the 1st monitoring exercise under the Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech Online+ are out.
How fast do platforms respond to notifications of alleged illegal hate speech? How do they address hateful content on their services?

I unequivocally condemn the massive strikes by Israel across Lebanon on 8 April that resulted in hundreds of civilians being killed & injured, including children.
With the announcement of the ceasefire between Iran & the USA, the ongoing military activity in Lebanon poses a grave risk to the ceasefire & the efforts toward a lasting & comprehensive peace in the region.
Hostilities must stop immediately.
International law must be respected.
Civilians & civilian objects must be protected at all times. Attacks against them are unacceptable.
There is no military solution to the conflict.

“Migration is not a crisis,” says UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
“The crisis is the failure to manage it together. Migrants are not criminals. They are victims of those who prey on human vulnerability.”

Migration is a story as old as humanity: a story of courage, resilience & mutual benefits.
It should never become a story of death & despair.
We need decisive, accelerated action for safe, orderly & regular migration.
