Hate Speech in Cyprus
This podcast focuses on a FES-report about hate speech prevalent in public discourses circulating on the internet, e.g. social media users’ offensive comments under news articles, in both Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities of Cyprus. We talk with the three authors of the report about traditional stereotypes used in daily language as well as discourses exhibited by media outlets in their representations of political events. We also discuss the responses by authorities and civil society to hate speech incidents on both sides of the divide.
