Study Shows Malta Suffers the Most from Hate Speech in Europe.

Jul 10 2024

A recent Eurobarometer report reveals that Maltese citizens are more likely than any other EU citizens to be affected by online hate speech, with 39% reporting a substantial impact. This is nearly double the EU average of 22%, highlighting a significant issue within Malta’s digital landscape.

The report, titled ‘The Digital Decade,’ shows that Malta surpasses other EU countries in this regard, followed by Slovenia (37%), Poland (31%), and France (30%). The high incidence of hate speech points to a broader societal issue that requires urgent attention from both local authorities and the EU.

The report also identifies untrustworthy online sellers as a significant problem for Maltese citizens, with one-third affected, which is higher than the EU average. The misuse of personal data (52%) and fake news (46%) are the most pressing issues, though these figures align with broader European trends.

The findings coincide with the EU’s assessment of the Digital Services Act (DSA), aimed at curbing illegal activities and disinformation online. While the DSA is a positive step, the report indicates a need for more targeted measures and stronger enforcement to address Malta’s unique challenges.

The high levels of online hate speech in Malta call for immediate and comprehensive action. Collaboration among policymakers, law enforcement, and online platforms is essential to combat this problem. Public awareness and educational initiatives can empower individuals to recognize and report hate speech, fostering a more respectful online community.
