The Special Rapporteur’s June 2017 Report to the Human Rights Council
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 21, 2017

June 21, 2017

In his latest report, the Special Rapporteur examines the duty of States to refrain from excessive censorship and surveillance, and to protect and promote a free, open, and secure Internet. He also evaluates the role of digital access providers – not just telecommunications companies and Internet service providers, which have become synonymous with digital access, but also non-consumer facing actors like network equipment vendors, content delivery networks, and Internet exchange points. Drawing on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and best practices in the field, the Special Rapporteur proposes concrete steps that digital access providers should take to safeguard the freedom of expression of Internet users worldwide. https://freedex.org/the-special-rapporteurs-june-2017-report-to-the-human-r…

June 21, 2017

*Germany Raids Homes of 36 People Accused of Hateful Postings Over Social Media* By DAVID SHIMER JUNE 20, 2017 In a coordinated campaign across 14 states, the German police on Tuesday raided the homes of 36 people accused of hateful postings over social media, including threats, coercion and incitement to racism. Most of the raids concerned politically motivated right-wing incitement, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office, whose officers conducted home searches and interrogations. But the raids also targeted two people accused of left-wing extremist content, as well as one person accused of making threats or harassment based on someone’s sexual orientation.

WP: "Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment"
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 20, 2017

June 20, 2017

* **Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment** * By Eugene Volokh June 19 at 11:37 AM From today’s opinion by Justice Samuel Alito (for four justices) in Matal v. Tam, the “Slants” case: / [The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”/ Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote separately, also for four justices, but on this point the opinions agreed: / A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an “egregious form of content discrimination,” which is “presumptively unconstitutional.” … A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government’s benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society./ And the justices made clear that speech that some view as racially offensive is protected not just against outright prohibition but also against lesser restrictions.
