Bit of a stretch to call the OFCOM’s definition of hate speech inaccurate. Obviously if someone is going to use slang terms to spew hatred it should not be excusable.
- tpoacher 4y agoThey're not saying the definition itself is inaccurate. They're saying that its reliance on terms that are they themselves being liberally redefined to change the meaning of the passage, makes the passage irrelevant in the first place.
- O__________O 4y agoReal world examples? Otherwise in my experience if sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, it must be a duck; that is it’s hate speech. For example, “we do not want X near us” is not a phrase based on inclusion and might easily ”spread, incite, promote or justify hatred based on intolerance” - while “all Z have committed to killing us” is obviously valid criticism, if true, which though is highly unlikely.
- tpoacher 4y agoDefine "real". Otherwise the example to which you originally replied to was exactly offered as one such real example, explaining the reasoning behind the selected example, and why that has important implications.
