"Hate speech"
"Hate speech" has a natural tension with freedom of speech. In recent years, an effort is being made in some countries to raise people's level of concern about it, for example by introducing legal restrictions about particular words. In US, opinion is fairly evenly divided about whether it should be made illegal to make public comments labelled as "hate speech".[1]

Wikipedia stated as of October 2017 that "A website which uses hate speech may be called a hate site. Many of these sites contain Internet forums and news briefs that emphasize a particular viewpoint.... There has been debate over freedom of speech, hate speech and hate speech legislation.[2] Critics have argued that the term "hate speech" is used to silence critics of social policies that have been poorly implemented.[3]

On May 31, 2016, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter, jointly agreed to a European Union code of conduct obligating them to review "[the] majority of valid notifications for removal of illegal hate speech" posted on their services within 24 hours.[4] Jillian York of the EFF criticised the move, calling it an "Orwellian agreement"[5]

The concept of "hate speech" is also applied outside the internet. Commercially-controlled media regularly apply it to "[[extremists]" such as neo-nazis or any criticism of Israel.
