Hate Speech, Fake News and Content Regulation on Social Networks in Europe
Abstract
This chapter analyses the current controversies surrounding the regulation of online content—regarding migrants, but also beyond—showing how the reconfiguration of relations between actors in the information market influences the conditions for the exercise of freedom of expression on the Internet. It shows that the regulation of online public speech goes far beyond relations between States and platforms, and implies a great diversity of actors: the media rely on fact-checking and certification of information; activists engage in collective actions of counter-speech or practice the “name and shame” policy to fight extremist websites or manipulators; companies put on market solutions of “brand safety”, the Internet users engage in initiatives of “participatory vigilance”.
