The Together Against Antigypsyism Online (TAAO) National Reports, together with the European synthesis report, offer a substantial body of evidence on how anti-Roma hate speech circulates across digital spaces in Europe. Based on monitoring carried out between October 2024 and September 2025, the project brought together trained Roma monitors in six countries and documented 3,147 cases through a shared methodology combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Taken together, the reports show that online antigypsyism is not peripheral or episodic, but a persistent and deeply rooted form of racism that continues to shape public discourse, social attitudes and the everyday digital experience of Roma communities.

One of the clearest conclusions emerging from the National Reports is that online antigypsyism increasingly operates through coded and socially normalized forms. Across platforms, especially Facebook and TikTok, hateful narratives are often carried not only through direct abuse, but also through irony, memes, mockery, sarcasm and visual content that presents discrimination as humour or common sense. The Czech National Report describes this environment as structural, normalized and algorithmically amplified, while the Romanian and Bulgarian National Reports likewise show how coded language and "jokes" help stereotypes spread with little resistance and often without meaningful moderation.

At the same time, the reports point to a serious failure of existing response mechanisms. The European synthesis report found that only 2 out of 40 reported cases resulted in positive action, underscoring the wider ineffectiveness of current moderation and reporting systems. Across the National Reports, this pattern appears repeatedly: harmful content remains online, platform decisions are inconsistent, and Roma monitors are left confronting not only the hate itself but also the emotional burden of repeated exposure to it. For that reason, the TAAO reports should be read not only as research documents, but also as a call for stronger accountability, better-informed moderation, and sustained support for Roma-led monitoring, advocacy and digital safety work.
