Abstract

ABSTRACT Acknowledging that the government is a user of social networks may help us to better understand its attempt to regulate them. This paper draws on the French case to show different ways of regulating hate speech online. It then turns to the peculiar case of hate speech expressed by the government. There are good reasons to consider that government hate speech can be restricted in Europe as well as in the United States. Europe and the United States however pull apart when the government regulate the discussion space below its online speech. Here, European governments are under an obligation to fight hate speech, when U.S. government infringes the First Amendment when it attempts to do so.

网络仇恨言论:政府既是监管者又是发言人

承认政府是社交网络的用户，可以帮助我们更好地理解政府监管社交网络的企图。本文以法国的案例为例，展示了监管网络仇恨言论的不同方式。接下来是政府发表仇恨言论的特殊案例。我们有充分的理由认为，政府的仇恨言论在欧洲和美国都可以受到限制。然而，当政府对其网络言论下方的讨论空间进行监管时，欧洲和美国就分道扬镳了。在这里，欧洲政府有义务打击仇恨言论，而美国政府试图这样做违反了第一修正案。

期刊介绍： The only platform for focused, rigorous analysis of global developments in media law, this peer-reviewed journal, launched in Summer 2009, is: essential for teaching and research, essential for practice, essential for policy-making. It turns the spotlight on all those aspects of law which impinge on and shape modern media practices - from regulation and ownership, to libel law and constitutional aspects of broadcasting such as free speech and privacy, obscenity laws, copyright, piracy, and other aspects of IT law. The result is the first journal to take a serious view of law through the lens. The first issues feature articles on a wide range of topics such as: Developments in Defamation · Balancing Freedom of Expression and Privacy in the European Court of Human Rights · The Future of Public Television · Cameras in the Courtroom - Media Access to Classified Documents · Advertising Revenue v Editorial Independence · Gordon Ramsay: Obscenity Regulation Pioneer?
