In the last few days, social media inside the Eurovision community has been full of negative comments, towards certain artists, their songs and their performances. It has gotten so out of hand and disrepectful, that the EBU has decided to release a statement and remind the online community followers of the values of the competition and to respect others online.

We would like to encourage social media users to think twice before they post something, since harmful comments can easily affect both the artists and everyone else, including other people, who have worked for a long time behind the scenes to prepare their performances.
