English

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of Communication
  • Rights and Freedoms
CONT

It is not always easy to discern when "hateful content" on the Internet crosses the line from being offensive to illegal. The line between hate speech and free speech is a thin one, and different countries have different levels of tolerance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie de la communication
  • Droits et libertés
CONT

Il n'est pas toujours facile de discerner quand un «contenu haineux» publié sur Internet passe d'offensant à carrément illégal. La frontière est souvent mince entre liberté d'expression et propos haineux.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Informatics
CONT

The Attorney General called Dr. Alexander Tsesis as a witness qualified to testify as an expert legal historian to address the long term effects of hate speech and to apply his analysis to the Internet. He testified that these types of commercial, user-based filters are an "inadequate means of blocking bigotry" because they "shed too wide a net". For example, when America On-Line's(AOL' s) software tried to prevent people from accessing websites containing the word "breast", to thereby prevent visits to pornographic websites, it also blocked ones with information on breast cancer.
