About this sermon
Laws against hate speech are already enforced across much of Europe, but are those same regulations headed to the US? That's the prediction of a top European Union leader at last month's world economic forum, who said "illegal hate speech, which you will have soon also in the US... I think that we have a strong reason why we have this in the criminal law." Executive Director of Speech First, Cherise Trump, joins to walk us through these hate speech laws in Europe and what you are not allowed to say while in certain European countries. Trump discusses why she thinks Vera Jourova weighed in on US law as a European leader. On one hand, the idea that the US would follow suit seems outrageous given our First Amendment rights. On the other hand, Trump explains whether it really is that much of a stretch, given the current clampdowns on speech in the US. We are seeing varying degrees of censorship on US college campuses, social media and certain political circles. Trump shares who gets to define these terms of what is offensive speech or misinformation and how it is legal. She tells us whether there is a greater danger and whether Americans are on shifty ground when it comes to maintaining freedom of speech and transmission of ideas.
