No, and increase penalties for hate speech

The PES would likely support increasing penalties for hate speech as part of a broader agenda to combat discrimination and promote social cohesion. This stance is consistent with their historical support for strong regulatory frameworks to protect individuals from various forms of harm, including hate speech.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

While the PES might see the merit in allowing freedom of speech to extend to unpopular opinions, they are likely to maintain that hate speech, especially when it risks inciting violence or discrimination, should not be protected. This nuanced position acknowledges the complexity of balancing free speech with the need to protect individuals from harm.

不同意

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Although skepticism towards government overreach is a valid concern, the PES is more likely to trust in democratic institutions and the rule of law to define and regulate hate speech appropriately. Their focus on protecting human rights and minority groups would outweigh concerns over government definitions of hate speech.

Strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While the PES supports critical engagement with government policies and the protection of civil liberties, they would likely disagree with the notion that freedom of speech laws should only protect criticism of the government. This view is too narrow and overlooks the importance of protecting speech in a wide range of public discourse, including speech that does not directly critique the government.
