  • Which kind of interests could justify a limitation of freedom of expression? A simple reference to human dignity seems to be problematic. The normative theory of equal respect might instead be a more suitable theoretical basis for a reflection on this theme. Hate speech might certainly be seen as breaching equal respect. Nevertheless, laws and regulations aimed at limiting hate speech are problematic in a liberal society: the positive symbolic message of precepts must be accompanied by a strongly selective application, guided by principles of «practical reasonableness».
