- How would you define “hate speech?”
I think hate speech is speech that attacks a person's race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
- Would you advocate placing limits on free expression (as most European countries do)
in order to deal with the problems posed by hate speech?
If so, how would you define those limits?
Yes, I think we can use language filter to shielding hate speech.
- Should we attempt to reach an international consensus on how to define hate speech and on the standards (if any) to be applied in dealing with it?
I don't think so, in different countries, people have different views. For example, in Middle East countries people don't think eat pork is right, but in most of countries, it doesn't matter. So we can't just make it international.
- Is censorship or filtering of hate group websites ever appropriate? If so, under what circumstances?
Yes, it is important to sensor or filter hate group so that people won't affect by
- Should creators of hate-oriented Web sites be held responsible for actions of people (such as the ‘lone wolves,’ people who commit crimes of hatred without specific instructions) who view those sites and then commit hate crimes?
I don't think the website owner should take all the responsibility. It is like if a criminal bought a knief from amazon.com, and he killed many innocent people. So, should Amazon response for it?
- Would you advocate special restrictions on making hate-related material available to children via the Internet? (If so, what would you propose?)
Yes, in China, we have a software called LvBa that protect or warning child from browsing hate speech websites.
- Should there be any distinction between what is legal online and what is legal offline?
Yes, I think there are some words people can say in daily life to joking someone, but in the internet, it will consider as an offensive speech.
- Should the standards that apply to hate-related material be different from the standards that apply to other objectionable material such as pornography?
Yes, just like the classification of videos.
