Who decides what is hate speech though ? Its the most abstract thing I feel - would it ever stick in a court? If we have properly defined laws for this, it would still make sense. But more often than not, we see hate speech laws being used by those in power to throttle the voice of the weaker sections.


The person being called out is the best way to shame them I feel. It can lead to repercussions on their social life or professional life - losing their job, respect of their family and friends.


Inciting violence is definitely hate speech. That's very clearly demarcated by law.

Oh my my my, freedom of speech is not free to say any type of hateful thought that comes to mind. Freedom of speech has SEVERAL limitations by law. For example, slander. You cannot just go around saying false things about someone and damaging their reputation. That is legal ground to get sued.


As for this lady's case, here are some of the grounds on why she's probably getting dragged to court in India:

  1. Section 153A - "promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, etc" (spoken words count)
  2. Section 295A - "deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class" (spoken words counts)
  3. Section 298 - "uttering any word with the deliberate intention of wounding the religious feelings of any person."

Thank you,

Goodbye

Let me get this straight (and correct me if I'm wrong, please). She made derogatory comments, not incitement to violence, and she is being hauled to court? People are applauding this?😲


Free speech is free speech, however despicable it might be.

You can't distort facts in the name of free speech.

Opinion: SRK is disgusting

Distorting a fact : SRK murdered some one...

No one can be put in jail for having an opinion.....but yes if someone distorts facts...they can have their ass sued.....This disgusting woman has been doing that for a particular community....and you know there are numbnuts everywhere ...who take the shit she spouts very seriously.......kind of what Trump did for Asians....saying over and over....Chinese virus...or Asians are resoponsible for covid....this is not free speech....he distorted facts and see what is happening with Asians in USA.

I am really confused after reading the opinions here... Freedom of speech does include telling things that might sound bigoted... But then it hurts people... Hurt sentiments is a big thing in India... Asking her to stop also validates asking comedians to stop mocking religions... How are to we know who is speaking from what intent...

Complicated stuff that I don't understand... Leaving it to legal experts and sociologists to figure it out

Simple: There is a difference between a comedian/commentator/critic making a generalized occasional comment about a particular piece of work/action/person be it factual or based on opinion AND targeted constant harassment peppered with hate/lies/accusations for one individual/entity about them personally or about a perceived harm they caused (without proof). A BIG difference.
