Abstract

"Dispelling rampant confusion about "hate speech," this book explains how U.S. law appropriately distinguishes between punishable and protected discriminatory speech. It shows that more speech-restrictive laws consistently have suppressed vital expression about public issues, targeting minority viewpoints and speakers; and that "counterspeech" has more effectively promoted equality and societal harmony"-- We live in an era in which offensive speech is on the rise. The emergence of the alt-right alone has fueled a marked increase in racist and anti-Semitic speech. Given its potential for harm, should this speech be banned? Nadine Strossen's HATE dispels the many misunderstandings that have clouded the perpetual debates about "hate speech vs. free speech." She argues that an expansive approach to the First Amendment is most effective at promoting democracy, equality, and societal harmony. Proponents of anti-hate speech laws stress the harms that they fear such speech might lead to: discrimination, violence, and psychic injuries. However, there has been no rigorous analysis to date of whether the laws effectively counter the feared harms. This book fills that gap, examining our actual experience with such laws. It shows that they are not effective in reducing the feared harms, and worse yet, are likely counterproductive. Even in established democracies, enforcement officials use the power these laws give them to suppress vital expression and target minority viewpoints, as was the case in earlier periods of U.S. history. The solution instead, as Strossen shows, is to promote equality and societal harmony through the increasingly vibrant "counterspeech" activism that has been flourishing on U.S. college campuses and in some global human rights movements. Strossen's powerful argument on behalf of free expression promises to shift the debate around this perennially contentious topic. --

Abstract

This collection of thirteen new essays is the first to examine, from a range of disciplinary perspectives, how the new technologies and global reach of the Internet are changing the theory and practice of free speech. The rapid expansion of online communication, as well as the changing roles of government and private organizations in monitoring and regulating the digital world, give rise to new questions, including: How do philosophical defenses of the right to freedom of expression, developed in the age of the town square and the printing press, apply in the digital age? Should search engines be covered by free speech principles? How should international conflicts over online speech regulations be resolved? Is there a right to be forgotten that is at odds with the right to free speech? How has the Internet facilitated new speech-based harms such as cyber-stalking, twitter-trolling, and revenge porn, and how should these harms be addressed? The contributors to this groundbreaking volume include philosophers, legal theorists, political scientists, communications scholars, public policy makers, and activists.

Abstract

Comment articuler les exigences (ou le «droit») du public à accéder à l'information et le droit de limiter la reproduction donc la diffusion d'une oeuvre ? Comment laisser libre cours à l'expression parodique et en même temps maintenir le respect dû à une oeuvre ? Comment, de manière générale, concilier droit d'auteur et liberté d'expression ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles ce recueil entend répondre. Traditionnellement, les spécialistes du droit d'auteur, en tout cas en Europe, ne se sont pas fort intéressés aux tensions qui peuvent naître entre les exigences tirées de la liberté d'expression et la protection conférée par le droit d'auteur. Certains défenseurs du droit d'auteur professent même, ou pensent sans l'avouer publiquement, que le droit d'auteur devrait rester immunisé à l'encontre des revendications fondées sur la liberté d'expression. S'il n'est pas acceptable que le droit d'auteur soit placé par ses adeptes dans un sanctuaire, la liberté d'expression ne doit pas non plus être sanctifiée, particulièrement à une époque où les revendications sous couvert de liberté d'expression sont souvent émises par des opérateurs commerciaux pour travestir des intérêts plus vénaux. Dès lors que ni le droit d'auteur, ni la liberté d'expression ne devraient par principe l'emporter, il reste - tâche plus ardue - à déterminer le juste équilibre. C'est à cette recherche d'un équilibre que les contributions rassemblées dans le présent volume sont consacrées. Certaines émanent de spécialistes du droit d'auteur, d'autres de juristes des droits de l'homme, parfois elles rassemblent les deux. Tous les auteurs réunis proviennent de pays partiellement francophones et le recueil offre une palette d'approches «civilistes» sur la relation entre droit d'auteur et liberté d'expression.
