Hate speech and incitement to hatred against minorities in the media 2015, para. 75 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The format of the media environment has undergone a dramatic transformation to host Internet and online media platforms, allowing live interaction and more rapid outreach worldwide. In the digital age, media has also widened its scope to include social media, where people share and/or exchange information, ideas and initiatives across vast national and international networks and virtual communities. New forms of online media which allow those who advocate hate speech or cyberhate to easily access large audiences are subject to less regulation than traditional media and provide anonymity to those who wish to exploit it. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |

Improved use of such procedures as Arria-formula meetings to report findings urgently and directly should be considered. In addition, further consideration should be given to measures to enable urgent engagement with all relevant regional and United Nations bodies and the Human Rights Council outside annual reporting schedules. | Special Rapporteur on minority issues | Special Procedures' report |
