Grondrechten. Een enkele fascist, communist of jihadist daargelaten, draagt iedereen ze hoog in het vaandel. Tot je naar de praktijk kijkt: vaandelvlucht volgt zodra rechten ongemakkelijk worden. En ongemakkelijk zijn ze. Onvermijdelijk ongemakkelijk. Ze laten veel ruimte voor choquerend of ronduit vulgair gedrag. De Grondwet is er tenslotte ook voor racisten, hooligans en homofoben. 00Veel politici en beleidsmakers daarentegen lijken slechts gelukkig als ze allerlei ongewenst gedrag bij wet kunnen verbieden. Of het nu gaat om boerkini?s, negationisme of seksisme: de relatiestatus tussen Wetstraat en rechtsstaat laat zich in het gunstigste geval omschrijven als it?s complicated. 00Recht werkt bovendien vaak averechts. Ongewenst gedrag bestrijden door het te verbieden en te sanctioneren lijkt aantrekkelijk in al zijn eenvoud. Maar het heeft ook de diepgang van een surfplank: de realiteit laat zich niet zomaar sturen door inktvlekken op papier, zelfs niet als ze in het Staatsblad staan. 00Grondrechtenspecialist en rechtsantropoloog Jogchum Vrielink neemt de actualiteit op de korrel. Hij laat steevast een tegengeluid horen wanneer de waan van dag het dreigt te halen en spaart daarbij links noch rechts. 'Pro Deo' bundelt zijn snijdende opiniestukken. Het zijn beschouwingen van een opiniemaker-in-bijberoep. Geboren uit noodzaak: omdat Twitter maar 140 tekens toelaat.

New Threats to Freedom In the twentieth century, free people faced a number of mortal threats,ranging from despotism, fascism,and communism to the looming menace of global terrorism. While the struggle against some of these overt dangers continues, some insidious new threats seem to have slipped past our intellectual defenses. These often unchallenged threats are quietly eroding our hard-won freedoms and, in some cases, are widely accepted as beneficial. In New Threats to Freedom, editor and author Adam Bellow has assembled an all-star lineup of innovative thinkers to challenge these insidi

This book focuses on regulatory challenges of creating and sustaining freedom of speech and freedom of information two decades after the fall of the Berlin wall, in global, comparative context. Some chapters overview, others address specific issues, or describe country case studies. Instead of trying to provide an exhaustive assessment which in one volume might not reach deeper analyzes of contextual details, this book will shed light on and help better understanding of general challenges for freedom of speech and information through varying comparative examples and highlighting important regulatory questions.

Hateful thoughts and words can lead to harmful actions like the March 2019 terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. In free, open and democratic societies, governments cannot justifiably regulate what citizens think, feel, believe or value, but do have a duty to protect citizens from harmful communication that incites discrimination, active hostility and violence. Written by a public policy advisor for fellow practitioners in politics and public life, this book discusses significant practical and moral challenges regarding internet governance and freedom of speech, particularly when responding to content that is legal but harmful. Policy makers and professionals working for governmental institutions need to strike a fair balance between protecting from harm and preserving the right to freedom of expression. And because merely passing laws does not solve complex social problems, governments need to invest, not just regulate. Governments, big tech and the private sector, civil society, individual citizens and the fourth estate all have roles to play, and counter-speech is everyone's responsibility. This book tackles hard questions about internet governance, hate speech, cancel culture and the loss of civility, and illustrates principled pragmatism applied to perplexing policy problems. Furthermore, it presents counter-speech strategies as alternatives and complements to censorship and criminalisation.
