“
I'm currently writing about hate speech and hate crimes in the context of the global upsurge in populist politics. Xenophobia and hate speech, combined with a documented increase in hate crimes compels us to reanalyze the prevailing laws regulating speech in political discourse and on social media. Both courts and social media companies must assess the likelihood that a speech act will result in imminent lawless action and recent social science research can help identify the types of speech and contexts most likely to result in violence.
