Google Looking At Introducing New ‘Hate Speech’ Rules Online

The executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, has controversially called for more internet censorship in a bid to fight terrorism. Speaking to The New York Times, Schmidt suggested new restrictions could be introduced at Google that would see “hate speech” being censored online.
“It’s our responsibility to demonstrate that stability and free expression go hand in hand,” he said. “We should build tools to help de-escalate tensions on social media—sort of like spell-checkers, but for hate and harassment,”.
Qz.com reports:
His words came just after Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, called on Silicon Valley to “disrupt ISIL” last weekend in Washington DC. Clinton said it is crucial to “deprive jihadists of virtual territory” by shutting off their means of communication.
With the rapid rise of ISIL and its sophisticated online recruitment and propaganda efforts, tech companies have been struggling with finding the balance between preventing terrorists from disseminating their message and being perceived as government tools for controlling the internet. Schmidt underlined that tech platforms should target terrorists’ social media accounts and remove video content—something that Google, Facebook, and Twitter already strive to do.
Schmidt did not provide details about his proposed “spell-checkers” for hate, but his suggestion may prove difficult to realize.
The debate about free speech versus hate speech is already a very controversial one, both in the United States where free speech is protected by the constitution, and elsewhere. People can barely agree on the definition of hate speech, so building algorithms to balance that fine line would be a tall order.
