The Initiative Toleranz im Netz was founded by the office of the Task Force gegen Hass und Hetze (Task Force against Hate and Agitation) at the Landeskriminalamt Baden-Württemberg (Baben-Wuerttemberg State Office of Criminal Investigation). With assigned members and cooperation partners from civil society and the private sector who want to take a stand against hate and hate speech, we realize joint projects and expand our individual services for those affected and interested. They allow our network to grow and with it the wider reach of our messages and the visibility of all of us. Because together we can achieve more by standing united against those who spread hate and hate speech.

We leave no one alone who experiences hatred and agitation!
No one who experiences hatred and hate speech is to blame!
The internet is not a legal vacuum! What is punishable in the analog world is also punishable online!
