EPRA members will then participate in facilitated round table discussions focusing on the role of media regulators in detecting, monitoring and reporting online hate speech, the challenges they face, and how they can prevent abuses. EPRA provides an independent, agile and participatory forum that allows 55 audiovisual regulators in Europe (beyond the EU) to share information, best practices, experiences and expertise. EPRA does not take common positions but seeks to encourage independent, transparent and professional regulation and to raise awareness among its members of the consequences of the upheavals in the media ecosystem and to support them in the necessary evolution of media regulation practices.
