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.
@9987HWC1yr1Y
Yes, as long as hate speech is constructive and does not protect derogatory language about the government and any of India’s cultural groups.
yes, As long as it is that hateful it has perpetrated material loss to property and life .
@95CV7FQIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes as long as it doesn't incite violence targeted towards a particular community and since the government has no right to decide the boundaries of free speech
@92CHZ84Independent2yrs2Y
Punishment to be given if it is seriously and solely aimed at demeaning a particular community .
@8YNBS7J2yrs2Y
no, not in any case anyone should be allowed to stimulate hatred publically or even personally and there should be minimal community service penalties and strict punishments for violence inclusive speeches.
@8W8TC3Z3yrs3Y
If you are tolerant of intolerance then you give rise to an intolerant society
@8VXS43LIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes. Hate speech and controversial opinions are an integral part of free speech and govt. Has no right in deciding what is right or wrong
@8KJQRCTBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Hate speech itself is not clearly defined today, what is hate speech for one, is often not hate speech for the other. It should ideally be banned, but the definition needs to be consistent across the board.
Hate speech is not free speech.
@8Q29ZJB3yrs3Y
Yes, unless and until it brings threat to national or individual security.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, because it normally promotes, encourages or threatens violence
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, because it encourages or threatens violence
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but make sure people who use hate speech understand the consequences of using hate speech, especially those that threaten violence.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
At this point, I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech, but it should all depend on the circumstances. Yes, a person’s hate speech can be protected by the first amendment, just as long as it does not encourage people to commit acts of violence against others. Still, I (personally) believe that the freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, all speech is protected by the first amendment, including hate speech, incitement and calls to violence, because sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
@92YT8JT2yrs2Y
No, when it threatens a group of people
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, sort of, not protected but tolerated so long as it does not constitute direct abuse or call for violence.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, to tolerating it as long as it does not threaten violence, but not to protecting it.
@LiamHal786386402yrs2Y
Yes but It is wrong to use it
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
Yes because hate speech is still freedom of speech, however there should be increased penalties for hate crimes.
Deleted2yrs2Y
It should be legally tolerated so long as it does not threaten violence, but not protected.
@3HNRB332yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence and as long as it's not completely restricting someone rights. Although I'm a black woman, I still think that people have a right to say what they want as long as it does not infringe on my rights or threaten my life or way of living.
@3TRKR472yrs2Y
No, and it is not already.
@ForWheelen2yrs2Y
Only if it is political speech. The first amendment applies only to political speech whereas the government is being spoken of. I don't endorse hate speech at all, but where it is protected it should be protecred
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, race, religion or sexual orientation
@8ZGYJSG2yrs2Y
No because of race crimes.
@vacheesehead2yrs2Y
Yes but, this is a slippery slope in terms of constitutional protection. The first amendment does not specify what type of speech is protected. Additionally, supressing any more speech unprotected opens the door for more censorship. However, any type of speech that promotes or insights violence, which certain hate speech can, should be enforced against.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, religion or sexual preference
@75YJY9V2yrs2Y
Yes, hate speech should be punished by society instead of censored by the government
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it doesn't directly cause violence
@8X85NGX2yrs2Y
No-- but the government has to clearly define "hate speech" in a manner that every citizen can understand. It cannot fluctuate from state to state, or administration to administration.
@4VSB86P2yrs2Y
Only if hate speech is clearly defined as objectively posing an immediate threat of violence.
@8XRJPQ52yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it's not racist or bigoted towards a group of people
@8XRJPQ52yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it's not bigoted towards a group of people
@8XQCD4Q2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence or advocate for the superiority of a particular group.
@8XRJPQ52yrs2Y
No, hate speech comes from both sides of the aisle, particularly the left, and must be censored
@8XQ89RL2yrs2Y
No, and dramatically increase penalties for hate speech
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, hate speech should be defined as incitement of violence or terrorism
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, religion, or sexual preference
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, because it advocates and incites violence based on an individual or group's political beliefs, religion, or sexual preference/identity
@8VL9DP42yrs2Y
Hate speech creates tension and issues with certain groups of people, so it should be illegal as long as it is defined clearly what is and isn't hate speech.

@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, because it provokes and incites violence

@8RBQDDP3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it does not threaten or incite violence, or is of a particular manner
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, because such speech leads to physical violence against an individual or group of people due to their religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
