"There has been an alarming and accelerating increase in the amount of discriminatory online content in the past few years. According to the estimates of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, there are approximately ten thousand online groups, blogs, chat rooms, videos and games that were created by racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic persons, the most serious of which are, of course, those operated by terrorist groups and other criminal associations. The Commission and Member States must consider developing a code of conduct for combating online incitement of hatred, and modifying their legislation to effectively respond to the new challenges of information technology. First, those websites that are fundamentally discriminatory in nature or instigate crimes need to be shut down; the national and international procedural rules for doing this need to be properly established. Second, discriminatory content appearing in mainstream websites and, most typically, in social networks must also be rejected. Although these pages have so many visitors that supervising them is almost impossible, authorities need to reach agreements with content providers and server hosts to at least limit such activities. Third, it must be considered that certain websites might be discriminatory by negligence, such as official and administrative pages of public interest that are non-accessible for people with disabilities."@en1
