ANNOTATION

"Freedom of expression is a fundamental right, indispensable in democratic societies. However, this right is not an absolute right, and may be lawfully restricted according to certain principles and conditions. Under international human rights law, and specifically article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), certain kinds of speech may be prohibited by law. Incitement to hatred is such an example of unprotected speech. The United Nations Rabat Plan of Action on the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred provides a comprehensive set of factors for States to address this issue, drawing a clear line between freedom of expression and incitement to hatred and violence."

How do we Preserve Free Speech in the Era of Fake News? Tim Fri, 08/27/2021 - 17:09

AUTHOR

Stanford University School of Engineering, Alex Stamos

YEAR

2018

ANNOTATION

“Alex Stamos, the former chief security officer at Facebook and an adjunct professor with Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, explained at a recent live taping of “The Future of Everything” that the emergence of social media has made everyone a potential publisher. “We will never go back to the era in which a small number of people control the flow of information,” Stamos says. While social media can be credited with democratizing the dissemination of information, these platforms have also become a hotbed of false and misleading content spread by domestic and foreign actors. Solving the “fake news” problem is extremely difficult, Stamos explains. “It turns out that regulating social media actually means asking social media companies to regulate people’s freedom of speech.” The danger here, Stamos emphasizes, is that this regulation will be done in a way that benefits the short-term interests of a company and does not uphold basic human rights.”

Hate: Why we should Resist it with Free Speech, Not Censorship Tim Fri, 08/27/2021 - 17:09

AUTHOR

Claremont McKenna College, Nadine Strossen

YEAR

2018

ANNOTATION

“We live in an era in which offensive speech is on the rise. Given its potential for harm, should this speech be banned? Nadine Strossen, professor of law at NYU School of Law and former president of the ACLU, dispels the many misunderstandings that have clouded the perpetual debates about “hate speech vs. free speech.” She argues that an expansive approach to the First Amendment is most effective at promoting democracy, equality, and societal harmony and that anti-hate speech laws are not effective in reducing the feared harms, and worse yet, are likely counterproductive by giving enforcement officials the power to suppress vital expression and target minority viewpoints. The solution, maintains Strossen, instead is to promote equality and societal harmony through vibrant “counterspeech”.”

ANNOTATION

“The Supreme Court’s 1919 decision in “Schenck v. United States” is one of the most important free speech cases in American history. Written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, it is most famous for first invoking the phrase “clear and present danger.” Because of this decision, we now have an elaborate set of free speech laws and norms but the context is always shifting. New societal threats like terrorism, and new technologies of communication continually reshape our understanding of what speech should be allowed. How has our understanding of the First Amendment transformed over time? Has the social media age created new threats to freedom of expression? Lee C. Bollinger is the president of Columbia University. A leading First Amendment scholar, he is widely published on freedom of speech and the press, including Uninhibited, Robust, and Wide-Open (2010), and currently serves on the faculty of Columbia Law School. Geoffrey R. Stone is the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. He was appointed by President Obama to serve on the President’s Review Group, which was charged with evaluating our nation’s foreign intelligence surveillance programs in the wake of Edward Snowden’s leaks.”

UC Irvine Law, David Kaye

YEAR

2020

ANNOTATION

In this episode of the UCI Law’s COVID-19 & Law series, Prof. Kaye draws on the report submitted by him as the Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression in April 2020 termed ‘Disease Pandemics and the Freedom of Opinion and Expression’. Taking an International Human Rights Law perspective, as opposed to a domestic law perspective, he attempts to urge the listeners to think about how it is that the tools of law can be utilized even during public health crises such as the COVID-19. In particular, he engages with the following themes: 1) the threats to free speech during the pandemic, 2) how International Human Rights Law presents certain guarantees to the freedom of expression, 3) the presence of rampant disinformation, the associated responsibilities, and the interactions with the guarantees, 4) the WHO’s guidelines on risk communication, 5) the question of how rights can be thought about as well as enforced during public health crises. The episode is moderated by Hans Keirstead.

Speech Police: The Global Struggle to Govern the Internet Tim Fri, 08/27/2021 - 17:09

AUTHOR

Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, David Kaye

YEAR

2019

ANNOTATION

“The Internet was designed to be a kind of free-speech paradise, but it has also been used to incite violence, spread lies, and promote hate. Over the years, three American behemoths – Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter – became the way many people around the world experience the Internet, and therefore act as the conveyors of some of its most disturbing material. Who should decide whether content should be removed from platforms, or which users should be kicked off? Should the giant social media platforms police the content themselves, as is the norm in the U.S., or should governments and international organizations regulate the Internet, as many are demanding in Europe? How do we keep from helping authoritarian regimes to censor all criticisms of themselves? David Kaye is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression, the global body’s principal monitor for freedom of expression issues worldwide. He is also a clinical professor of law and the director of the International Justice Clinic at the University of California, Irvine.”
