Yes

Depends on where you're at - different laws in different countries - but I do think that hate speech is in fact more protected in the US and that it is nevertheless poisonous to a democratic society.

# data[].attributes.body
I guess it can be considered freedom of speech but it’s not a good thing. Hate speech should be monitored and condemned.

# data[].attributes.body
I see hate speech as any verbiage that insights violence. For example, cyber bullying may be mean but not violent. Trumps words insighting a violent insurrection at the capitol is hate speech. Hate speech that insights violence should be punishable.

# data[].attributes.body
In a way yes, but not to the point where it has affected me tremendously.

I witnessed someone call another hispanic slurs at Walmart

If freedom of speech is just that, then that suggests any speech is allowed.  However, that doesn't mean that all speech is acceptable to anyone.

As a target? No. Have I witnessed it against others? Yes.

# data[].attributes.body
freedom of speech is freedom of speech bad or good

# data[].attributes.body
No. I think hate speech goes against freedom of speech because it hurts others.

Speech that can reasonably be construed to lead to violence against a demographic group.

I don't think so, violence is more physical, it would only be violence if there was a physical threat

No it’s not the same because hate speech is the prerequisite to violence. They aren’t the same thing because one becomes before the other. Hate speech is the event that causes the violence, and violence wouldn’t happen without it.

# data[].attributes.body
Tough question, I'd say it just has to do with human decency and thinking before you speak.

# data[].attributes.body
No, but it engenders violence. I used to think it should be more protected - kind of a strict ACLU/Skokie take - but after the past 6 years and seeing what has happened, how unchecked hate speech has in fact led to increased violence, my stance has grown a lot more "snowflake."

Yes I have.

It can bring low self esteem or make them kill themselves. Or it could make them act out in violence against the person who said the hate speech.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been called slurs, but that's about it. I think that me being a white woman makes me less like to experience hate speech unless it is about my sexuality.

# data[].attributes.body
Yea, anyone is free to express their opinion. No matter how bad it is.

# data[].attributes.body
yes

# data[].attributes.body
It is not freedom of speech because of it involving threatening people or hurting people.

# data[].attributes.body
People are saying what they feel but they should know better than to treat people like that

# data[].attributes.body
I think hate speech is any type of speaking that directly affects and insults others

# data[].attributes.body
Yea

# data[].attributes.body
Not having been a direct victim of hate speech, I can't say from personal experience, but from listening to lots of marginalized people talk about their experiences, I'd say that even if an instance of hate speech doesn't directly and immediately lead to violence, it almost certainly causes psychological distress amongst the targets, the end result of which we likely haven't studied nearly enough.

I think hate speech can cause violence and incite others to do violent things, but hate speech itself is only violent if the person spreading hate speech is using ut in a violent context.

Anything that comes out of your mouth, that would hurt another person is hate speech... or via text

# data[].attributes.body
there is different ways you can describe hate speech, racism, hate, or get peoples attention

I believe hate speech is any speech that involves the promise of hurting individuals or a group of people especially pertaining to racial and ethnic groups.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe hate speech consists of derogatory content aimed at specific individuals or groups of people. Hate speech is cowardly and used as a bully tactic to instill fear and prejudice.

# data[].attributes.body
Hate speech is not the same as physical violence, but could lead to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think hate speech can cause massive amounts of damage to many people. It can lead to an attack on certain groups of people, and hurt more directly if its targeted that way.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that hate speech is the same thing as violence because of it almost always leading to physical violence.

# data[].attributes.body
Hate speech could affect a person in everything they do. If someone says something about the way you dress, you'd be more inclined to change up your style. As well, as if someone pinpoints how bad your hair looks today, that would stick with you throughout the whole day.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a slippery slope. You can choose to ignore or condemn the hateful things people say (and this doesn't necessarily mean fighting fire with fire), or you might choose to take hate speech further and use it as a catalyst for violence. I think it depends on what someone does with what they hear.

# data[].attributes.body
it's still causing harm so it's violent

Hate speech can send some people into the depths of despair while at the same time igniting a flame in other people to perpetuate it,
