Document Summary

Lecture questions: online hating: explain the differences between the american and european traditions of free speech and expression. European"s are very strict with privacy on the internet, and require people to get rid of certain info on the internet. The u. s disagrees because of the 1st amendment. Hate speech (that that attacks or demeans a group based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc) or speech that incites violence is the only form of free expression that will not be tolerated. New european privacy right that basically allows you to escape your past. Why is regulation of hate speech by laws problematic? seditious libel can"t be made the subject of government sanction. The official suing has to prove actual malice.
