SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Film: <em>Networks of Hate<\/em>"
DESCRIPTION:"\rFrench journalist, writer and award winning filmmaker, Rokhaya Diallo will introduce her film, Networks of Hate. The film examines key areas, such as the effect of the internet and today’s social networks and how they have become outlets through which innumerable racist, homophobic, and sexist ideas are expressed.\r\rDue to Rokhaya’s widely recognized work in favor of racial, gender and religious equality, she was targeted on Twitter in a call to rape. The violence of this action prompted her to engage in an investigation on cyber hate and freedom of speech online. During her investigation, she met several victims of cyber hate, both public personalities such as Audrey Pulvar, a popular TV host, and Christine Boutin, a politician, as well as everyday people harassed, for a variety of reasons or no reason at all. Throughout the film she poses questions such as “Is the Internet a vector of hatred?” And “Why do cyber haters favor social media?”\r\rNetworks of Hate documents Rokhaya’s journey for justice against cyber hate. Join her for an enlightening story followed by Q&A.\r\rThis public event is presented in conjunction with a roundtable discussion titled “Freedom of Speech in the Age of New Media and New Publics: France, Europe and Beyond”, which is a part of the European Union Center's EU Studies Conference.\r"
