US Will ‘Soon’ Have ‘Illegal Hate Speech’ Laws, Says World Economic Forum Panelist
The U.S. will “soon” have “illegal hate speech laws,” said European Union official Vera Jourova at a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel.
Jourova participated in Tuesday’s WEF panel on “the clear and present danger of disinformation,” alongside former CNN Host Brian Stelter, Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and media executive Jeanne Bourgault.
