Beschreibung
The updated paperback edition of HATE dispels misunderstandings plaguing our perennial debates about "e;hate speech vs. free speech,"e; showing that the First Amendment approach promotes free speech and democracy, equality, and societal harmony. As "e;hate speech"e; has no generally accepted definition, we hear many incorrect assumptions that it is either absolutely unprotected or absolutely protected from censorship. Rather, U.S. law allows government to punish hateful or discriminatory speech in specific contexts when it directly causes imminent serious harm. Yet, government may not punish such speech solely because its message is disfavored, disturbing, or vaguely feared to possibly contribute to some future harm. "e;Hate speech"e; censorship proponents stress the potential harms such speech might further: discrimination, violence, and psychic injuries. However, there has been little analysis of whether censorship effectively counters the feared injuries. Citing evidence from many countries, this book shows that "e;hate speech"e; are at best ineffective and at worst counterproductive. Therefore, prominent social justice advocates worldwide maintain that the best way to resist hate and promote equality is not censorship, but rather, vigorous "e;counterspeech"e; and activism.
