The Ministry of Justice plans to introduce a new criminal offense into the Criminal Code – serious hate speech, which will be punishable by imprisonment of three months to three years.

What exactly is meant by "serious hate speech"? How will the law be implemented in practice? Are there any "loopholes" that could allow for evasion of responsibility? How will those hiding behind anonymous profiles on social networks be identified and prosecuted?
