Before you lies the MDI Annual Report 2013. We are delighted that we have managed to also 2013 to continue our work. 15 year funding from the government, unfortunately, came this year because of budget cuts at the ministries in order. While combating all forms of discrimination on the Internet (and beyond) is more important than ever, the anti-discrimination policy in the Netherlands in recent years to erosion, which is reflected in the closure of institutions in our field and disinterest in governance, politicians and policymakers. This not only brings harm to combat discrimination but also sets the wrong tone towards society. Examples are the inertia that was laid on the day at the issue of anti-Semitic statements made by Turkish youth in Arnhem, the strange reactions to the (justly) critical report of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) about Netherlands (Labour party leader Samson wondered where Europe interfering himself and called the report 'weak', D66 leader Pechtold distanced himself greatly from the report) and last but not least the lethargy of the discriminatory 'jokes' Gordon, Daphne Bunskoek and Jack Spijkerman media. A lethargy that disappeared strangely entirely with the criticism because of Sinterklaas Zwarte Piet; a flurry of undisguised anti-black racism was the result. It is simply not able to expeditiously deal with discrimination and hate crimes. The "surprising" conclusion that anti-Semitism and gay hatred comes from minority groups
rather gives rise to relief ("You see, they do it ') than to care. The MDI of Magenta Foundation department is one of the victims of the 'new thinking' that has descended over Netherlands. Moreover, erroneous publicity about closure of the MDI ensured that the number of reports in 2013 decreased.

Na 15 years of work have to be supported from the MDI, the Ministries of Security and Justice and Social Affairs decided to budgetary considerations, the financing of the MDI by 31 december 2012 to end. That is regrettable and in our view unwise. The ministries want to treat reports of discrimination on the Internet is done by the Foundation M, an organization that transmits telephone anonymous complaints about crime in society to the police. We doubt very much that the foundation through their duties M, expertise and resources able to deal with the reports of discriminatory behavior on the Internet at the same appropriate and careful manner as the MDI. Discrimination on the Internet (and beyond) is a significant problem that will only increase with the current economic situation. Given the great social importance of proper notification handling the Magenta Foundation has decided to continue the MDI. Meanwhile, there is alternative financing found, there are usually treated as notifications and declarations made, and it is our 'business as usual'. Our working relationships with the prosecution / LECD, the police, other services and the Anti-Discrimination Services function as before. In addition, we will expand our work.

2011 in het kort: In its 14th year the MDI which received fewer reports than in 2010, but the number of reported incidents increased, while the number of number of utterances which was assessed as a crime decreased slightly. The largest category of discrimination in 2011 and was the biggest riser 'other origin and nationality "because of numerous reports (210) done by a single person online discrimination against Poland and other Central and East Europeans (MOE-landers). This creates a distorted picture in statistics, so the real largest category, Discrimination against Muslims, only comes in second place and anti-Semitism in the third. The MDI comprises a 2011 1039 receive notifications 1624 Unique expressions. The number of notifications was down slightly (1174 in 2010) but the number of reported incidents has risen slightly (1572 in 2010). The number of expressions which was assessed as a criminal by the MDI, has also fallen slightly; van 684 in 2010 to 651 in 2011. Striking for the reporting period 2011 is that fewer and fewer expressions of extreme right-wing websites reported. More and more online discrimination practiced by 'normal' websites, discussieforums, nieuwsforums en weblogs. There seems to be a mainstreaming'plaats discrimination and a growing acceptance of discriminatory statements. The shift under the influence of the current political situation and the social debate of opinion about what is discrimination has an impact on court rulings (o.a. in the case of Wilders) but also on what the prosecution as 'feasible' looks at possible prosecution.
