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.

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.
