Report supports proposed measures to counter the spread of illegal hate speech
Hate speech poses a serious challenge to democratic societies. The Federal Council is currently seeking to reinforce legal protection against hate speech with a number of regulatory projects. In particular, these should reinforce the rights of digital platform users. This is the conclusion of a postulate report adopted by the Federal Council at its meeting on 15 November 2023.
Federal Council report on the public service in the media sector
In response to the Transport and Telecommunications Committee's postulate (14.3298), the Federal Council has produced a report giving a comprehensive review of the public service. The report analyses the public service provided by the SSR SRG and private radio and television broadcasters with and without support from reception fees and presents approaches for the future scope of the public service.
