Hate speech is defined as public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.
@97T8QSX1yr1Y
no, but there should be a law against some members of lgbtq
Yes so long as it isn't targeted harassment and does not threaten violence
@8XFLST72yrs2Y
Hate speech should be censored
@8VS4PHT3yrs3Y
No give them a lie detector test. To make sure they meant what they said.
Yes but only to a certain extent, where the speech is not directed unto an individual aggressively as people should not be chastised for their opinion.
@8TN9N9X3yrs3Y
There is no freedom of speech laws in Ireland , its freedom of expression , Article 40.6 1
@8T3PBNB3yrs3Y
Liars, Bad faith actors, and actively endorsing hate is the only censorship I support.
@9H7CKHYSocial Democrats5mos5MO
No, though the situation surrounding the proper definition of hate speech in Ireland is muddled at best
@9H76M6G5mos5MO
I don't trust the government to define the boundaries especially if it's against them, however, when it comes to ganging up minorities and innocent people, that's obviously a crime
@98DWMMM1yr1Y
Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence or doxxing
@9887SCG1yr1Y
Yes as long as there is no idea of superiority against others
@987CMV41yr1Y
Yes but not free from consequences
@97YG7FL1yr1Y
No, as long as hate speech is clearly defined
@8DG6RF44yrs4Y
No, there must be a clear definition of what constitutes hate speech and this will enable authorities to crack down on it. There are far too many people on social media in Ireland spewing hate speech and posing as martyrs when they're punished for it i.e. Gemma O'Doherty
@4SNPK4B2yrs2Y
Speech that incites violence should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. A well‐written law will say something like that instead of using the phrase “hate speech”.
@8ZRNKGY2yrs2Y
It depends on what the hate speech is on, if it's on hating pistachio ice cream then it should be protected, but if it's something like a racist ideal/belief then it should not be protected by freedom of speech laws
@8XR8DQ22yrs2Y
How about we just get a better education system so that people don't use hate speech in the first place?
