ABSTRACT Cyberhate is a growing problem. There is legislation in place that can be used to tackle various aspects of online hate, but in practice, the existing offences are difficult to use. The law is fragmented, and does not capture the true nature of internet hate, or provide adequate protection to victims. This piece evaluates the current provisions, and concludes with a framework for creating new legislation to tackle cyberhate which will be easier for the police and prosecutors to use, which will reflect more clearly the harm caused by hate on the internet, and which is also compatible with freedom of expression.

重新思考网络仇恨法律

摘要 网络仇恨是一个日益严重的问题。已有立法可用于解决网络仇恨的各个方面，但在实践中，现有的罪行难以使用。法律是支离破碎的，没有捕捉到互联网仇恨的真实本质，也没有为受害者提供足够的保护。这篇文章评估了当前的规定，并以一个框架来制定新的立法来解决网络仇恨，这将使警察和检察官更容易使用，这将更清楚地反映互联网上仇恨造成的伤害，并且这也是兼容的与言论自由。
