CONT

... the definition would define hate speech in terms of its hateful content, namely any content that expresses detestation or vilification of persons on a prohibited ground of discrimination.

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

[...] la définition concernerait le discours haineux sur le plan du contenu haineux, à savoir tout contenu exprimant la haine ou la diffamation contre des personnes, s'il est fondé sur un motif de distinction illicite.

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.
