hi #commodons and #lawons (?!) One of the questions swirling in my mind these days is: in which cases does a word or statement become the subject of criminal law? How can we eliminate hate speech while protecting #freedomofexpression? Can you suggest useful scientific studies, both theoretical and practical, on the punishment of #hatespeech and the paradoxical relationship between freedom of expression and hate speech? #hate speech #criminallaw #media #freedomofspeech #paradoxes #dilemmas

For newbies: On desktop, go to Settings->Appearance and enable Advanced Web Interface. You will get TweetDeck-type columns.

I wrote the book "Yankee Reporters and Southern Secrets: Journalism, Open Source Intelligence, and the Coming of the Civil War," which pulled together insights about the secession crisis that bear frightening parallels with the #Jan6 insurrection. I've come to #Mastodon out of curiosity and as a hedge against #Twitter becoming a hellscape.
