20.500.12556/RUL-142381 Hate speech or free speech an ethical dilemma? Freedom of expression is the cornerstone and the warrant of democracy, but like all other rights and freedoms we enjoy, also the right to free speech has its limits. Hate speech is one of the most resilient manifestations of cyberviolence, and is not to be equalled with free speech. This is partly related to our perception of the freedom of expression that has substantially changed through time; from the past focus on being able to freely express your opinion, to question, dissent and challenge the government, to today’s need to limit these rights in order to protect the targets of hate speech. The article first looks at how hate speech is defined at the level of the EU and at the problems connected with its regulation. It continues with an overview of relevant literature and research on the topic, and concludes by analyzing and interpreting the results of an online survey conducted among Slovenian university students in February 2022. Our goal is to understand the reasons behind the rise of hate speech and reactions to it; from its acceptability and underestimation to indifference and ignorance. freedom of expression free speech hate speech censorship social media svoboda izražanja svoboda govora sovražni govor cenzura družbeni mediji true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-11-04 10:57:27 2022-11-04 10:57:32 2023-01-25 03:31:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 413-425 no. 3 Vol. 32 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 342.727:316.774:004.738.5 0390-6701 10.1080/03906701.2022.2133406 128046595 Gorenc_IRS_koncna.pdf Gorenc_IRS_koncna.pdf 1 A0B1210BD998F317C2420F760DAA593E d924fb058a24d9b6a9f66ed5ae5e41c609da0af282b6d604657098d9eeb0923c d0dc8f96-8c23-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=165450 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03906701.2022.2133406 0 9e3ba417-5c27-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=163711 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
