Madam President, We can hardly expect a clean social media unless hate-mongering supremacist and xenophobic messaging is curbed under the law and the perpetrators are held to account. The world has witnessed a dangerous surge in supremacist and radical xenophobic ideologies for the past few years as some senior political figures have also fueled racist and anti-foreigners’ sentiments. The US has in particular contributed to a global rise in racist turn by applying discriminatory travel bans on Muslims and by introducing sweeping unilateral coercive measures against developing nations. Islamophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric, including by falsely associating Islam with terrorism, continue to poison social media networks in some EU countries where even extreme provocateur anti-Islam messaging is justified and applauded as "freedom of expression". This is a travesty and should be reversed. This Forum can help elaborate a sort of code of conduct to regulate the conduct of social media networks in order to contain proliferation of racism, hatred and intolerance. This Forum is best placed to provoke critical thinking on how effectively we could avoid that indifference which is actively enforced upon general public through twisted narratives. I thank you Madam President. 2
