The Problem with Broad Definitions of Hate Speech

The United Nations recently posted about hate speech, which prompted me to look more closely at the definition provided in one of the linked resources. After reading it, I was left with concerns that the definition may be overly broad, highly subjective, and open to a wide range of interpretations.
https://t.co/6oIJ0ARZuV

The first issue is the concept of an "attack." What exactly constitutes an attack? Does criticism of a religion count as an attack? Does criticism of a government's immigration policy count as an attack on a nationality or ethnic group? Different people may interpret the word "attack" in very different ways, making it difficult to apply consistently.

The second issue concerns the phrase "pejorative or discriminatory language." While some words are clearly intended as insults, many others depend heavily on context. A statement that one person considers offensive may be viewed by another as legitimate criticism, satire, or political commentary. The definition appears to leave considerable room for subjective interpretation.

Another concern is the inclusion of "behaviour." This term is extremely broad. Does it include jokes, social exclusion, peaceful protest, artistic expression, or academic debate? The definition does not clearly specify what forms of behaviour are covered, creating uncertainty about its scope.

The phrase "based on who they are" also raises questions. If someone criticises an idea, religion, ideology, or cultural practice, are they criticising the belief itself or the people who hold that belief? Throughout history, societies have often debated where this line should be drawn. Yet the definition provides little guidance on how to distinguish criticism of ideas from hostility toward individuals.

There is also the issue of the phrase "other identity factor." This appears to be an open-ended category that could potentially encompass a vast range of characteristics. From a legal perspective, such broad language may create uncertainty. Lawyers and lawmakers generally seek precise definitions because vague categories can make enforcement inconsistent and unpredictable.

Perhaps the most significant concern is the lack of distinction between intent and effect. The definition does not clearly separate speech intended to promote hatred from speech that merely causes offence. This distinction can be crucial in both law and public policy. Intent, context, and audience often play an important role in determining the meaning and impact of speech.

To illustrate the problem, consider the statement: "This hate speech law is stupid." Most people would view this as criticism of a law rather than an attack on a group of people. However, under a broad interpretation, someone might argue that:

The law was created to protect certain groups.
Criticism of the law undermines those protections.
Undermining those protections contributes to a hostile environment.
Therefore, criticism of the law indirectly targets the groups the law seeks to protect.

Whether one agrees with this reasoning or not, the possibility of such an interpretation highlights the challenges that can arise when definitions lack precision.

A similar issue emerges with statements such as, "This religion is stupid," "This ideology is stupid," or "This cultural practice is stupid." Some would argue that these statements are criticisms of beliefs, ideas, or practices. Others would argue that they are attacks on the people who identify with them. The definition itself does not clearly explain where the boundary lies.

If a definition is too broad or ambiguous, it risks creating confusion about what is prohibited and what remains protected as criticism, debate, satire, or dissent. In practice, this ambiguity may also have a chilling effect, where individuals become uncertain or even afraid to express legitimate opinions. In that sense, the question arises whether such broad framing functions to prevent harm, or whether it risks stifling free expression by discouraging people from speaking openly in the first place.

This is messed up

[Rebecca Mistereggen @RMistereggen]

How many of you have heard of Ilias Kasidiaris?

The former Greek MP and politician remains imprisoned in Greece, due to one of the most controversial cases in the EU.

He’s serving time from the Golden Dawn convictions, but a recent judicial decision has drawn heavy criticism: His June 2025 release request was denied 2-1, against the Prosecutor’s recommendation, partly because he maintains an active X account (@IliasKasidiaris), with help from supporters to comment on politics.

“The applicant… maintains a personal account on… X… expressing his views on current political and social affairs,” the court said.

They will therefore keep him imprisoned despite good conduct and significant time served.

This sets a dangerous precedent for political speech. How does it differ from cases Elon Musk has criticized in the UK?

[John Solomon @jsolomonReports]

Speaking of election losers…. The speech focused on fixing problems for 2026 that have been around since 2020. Democrats could have spared yourself the speech had Biden patched the machines and alerted states they had their data compromised. BTW, how did that whole Russia collusion thing work out?

[JD Vance @JDVance]

This is completely bogus. I never received a message like this.

If I had, I would have said: Jared and Steve are trusted members of the president's team and very dear friends. No one has done more than the two of them to work towards peace and prosperity in the region. The idea they're trading on insider information is absurd.

I see a lot of BS flying around and I normally just ignore it. But Steve and Jared are good dudes and I'm honored to work with them.

"Kathy Hochul cares about the environment! She just put a moratorium on data centers."

Here's a quick political science 101 on what Ms. Hochul is up to by pandering to the emotions around data center build-outs nationwide right now.

Firstly, New York State doesn't have the power to support data centers. Why? Starting in 2019, to justify the Climate Act, we took over 2,000MW of reliable (nuclear) energy offline to create a "climate crisis" that they claimed we needed wind and solar to "fix."

It's why this same woman has asked you to set your thermostat to 78 this summer. It's also why there's a bill in our state senate as we speak that would give the state the right to CONTROL your thermostat.

Instead of admitting they tanked our grid as part of the green energy grift, Ms. Hochul is painting herself as a "savior from data centers" today.

This woman is also up for re-election in November. Her opponent, @NassauExec, is gaining traction on her while also outwardly proclaiming he is against ORES and what Hochul has done to our home rule.

@KathyHochul admitted for the world to see yesterday that she has the power to STOP and DISSOLVE the Office of Renewable Energy Siting at any time. But she won't. The kickbacks, foreign corporate deals, and subsidies and credits with solar and wind are worth the risk for her.

Thousands of acres of designated habitat, bald eagle nesting sites, state endangered species nesting habitat, wetlands, imperiled grasslands, and USDA prime farmland are locked up into ORES solar and wind contracts forced on our towns.

She doesn't care.

She's playing politics 101, painting herself a savior to a problem that our state can't support anyway. And it's all due to the 2019 Climate Act religion.

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

When I decided one day in 2023 that I was going to teach myself how to farm and garden with zero background in growing plants whatsoever, it felt overwhelming.

It still feels overwhelming most days.

I started reading as many books as I could. Most of them made everything feel even more complicated.

And then one day in 2025 I sat in for Martha Stewart’s talk she gave in NYC. It changed me. She spoke about how it takes a lifetime to become a master gardener or farmer. Don’t rush it. Focus on one or two things you get very, very good at in a grow season. Save the rest for the next year.

After that talk, I started to have fun with learning the art of farming. I think about that talk a lot. I read her entire gardening handbook. It’s the only book I use now at my own farm.

Getting to tell her about my small farm yesterday was amazing. But getting to tour her gardening empire was even cooler.

Here are some pics and videos from her estate. I adore how well she takes care of her animals. The second I see someone care for animals in that way, I know I am going to like them.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW. Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC

"In Queens, adult daycares [have] pharmacies set up, it's this big racket where they BILL all these people with medical beneficiary numbers from seniors in the adult daycares. They make so much money from Medicaid, THEY GIVE KICKBACKS to the seniors."

"So you have these Korean and Chinese mafias, quite literally, looting the government from Medicaid, and then giving the kickbacks to the seniors!"

INGRAHAM: "So wait, the old people get the money themselves?"

SHIRLEY: "Well, they make so much money, these pharmacies and these little daycares, that they then have a referral program set up for these seniors."

"So it's like bringing a friend will give you a hundred bucks."

Here it is:

A father: “Here’s what I need you to do. When I tell you this story, think about your kids.

Alexander Devonte Dickie was arrested 39 g’damn times.

Thirty-nine crimes in ten years. Twenty-five felonies. Can anybody explain to me how he could possibly be on the street?”

You’ve got to start charging Democrats and their activist judges for murder.

Elon Musk used a joke to perform an autopsy on the American economy.

Two economists go for a hike. They find a pile of shit. One pays the other $100 to eat it.

They keep walking. Find another pile. The second economist pays $100 back to eat that one.

They stop. Neither man gained a dollar. Both ate shit for nothing.

But on paper they just generated $200 in GDP.

Musk: “That basically would count as a job. This is to illustrate the absurdity of economics.”

That is not a punchline. That is the operating system of the federal government.

Every time a politician celebrates “record job creation” this is what they are describing. Not output. Not value. Not progress. Motion.

The entire bureaucratic machine exists to manufacture friction and then invoice for it.

Compliance layers built to justify the next compliance layer. Oversight committees that produce nothing but the need for more oversight. Consulting firms hired to audit the work of other consulting firms.

Trillions circulating through systems that have never produced a single thing you can hold in your hands. But the GDP number ticks up. So everyone applauds.

The shit gets eaten. The scoreboard moves. Nobody asks what actually got built.

This is why Washington treats AI like a five alarm fire.

AI does not play the friction game. It does not form a committee. It does not schedule a review. It does not file 400 pages of paperwork no one will ever read.

It just solves the problem.

And that is the one thing the machine cannot survive.

The government does not tax results. It taxes the process. The longer the process, the deeper the cut.

AI compresses a ten day workflow into seconds. There is nothing left to bill. Nothing left to tax. Nothing left to skim.

So they will spend the next decade warning you that AI threatens the economy.

What they will never say is what it actually threatens.

The illusion that activity equals progress.

The $200 economy where both men ate shit and called it a job.

The machines are not coming for your purpose.

They are coming to prove that half the economy never had one.

"For god's sake, stop complying. Start rebelling. They are out to get you if you do not resist."

German MEP, Christine Anderson: The so-called "pandemic" was a beta test—conducted by unelected globalists—to see how easy it would be to seize totalitarian control, under the pretext of a global "emergency."

"The goal, ultimately, is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies. Their goal is to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights, of freedom, democracy, the rule of law. They want to get rid of all of this."

"In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well being of regular people, and it isn't any different now."

[Dr Mark Trozzi MD @DrTrozzi]

A Henry Ford Health study tracking children over 10 years revealed stark chronic disease rates:

Vaccinated: 57%

Unvaccinated: 17%

We are in the middle of the chronic disease and autoimmune crisis of our lifetimes — and this data strongly implicates the childhood vaccine schedule as a major driver.

This should be front-page news. Instead, it’s buried.

Why has the mainstream media NEVER told you this? The Democratic Socialists of America recently voted in support of completely DISMANTLING the American Republic and replacing it with a new system.

Their national political committee voted 12 to 11 in support of ABOLISHING the Presidency and the Supreme Court and making everything completely subordinate to Congress. Look at how many of them have run for Congress lately! What are the odds?

Over 51% of the DSA's governing board members are now self-avowed communists. And they recently passed 120,000 members, making them the largest "socialist" organization in American history. Ten years ago, that number was only 6,000.

The mask is fully off. The radicals are actively infiltrating the Democratic system to execute this blueprint from the inside out. Look at Mamdani and the slate of radicals winning primaries and trying to seize real political power. They are systematically replacing traditional Democrats with radical collectivists who are openly telling you, in their own published platform documents, that they want to dismantle the American Republic and destroy the separation of powers. The facade is gone. This IS the communist blueprint for a silent takeover.

[Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2]

NEW: Right before the 2020 election, DC District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan halted the Postal Service's plans to shore up mail processing rules to handle massive influx of mail-in ballots. Democratic states and cities sued to stop the USPS guidance; on Sept 27, 2020, Sullivan (Clinton) entered a preliminary injunction on behalf of the Democratic litigants. (A few years later, Sullivan entered a summary judgement along the same lines.)

Today, a DC appellate panel determined Sullivan had no jurisdiction over the matter. Too late to have any impact on the 2020 election...
