FREE, HATEFUL, AND POSTED: RETHINKING FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION OF HATE SPEECH IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD Abstract: Speech is meant to be heard, and social media allows for exaggeration of that fact by providing a powerful means of dissemination of speech while also dis- torting one’s perception of the reach and acceptance of that speech. Engagement in online “hate speech” can interact with the unique characteristics of the Internet to influence users’ psychological processing in ways that promote violence and rein- force hateful sentiments. Because hate speech does not squarely fall within any of the categories excluded from First Amendment protection, the United States’ stance on hate speech is unique in that it protects it.

En China mantiene el nombre original de DouYin, pero en 2018 se extendió por todo el planeta con el nombre de TikTok tras su fusión con la app Musical.ly.

  • A Linguistic Analysis of Their Written Discourse
    Spanish politicians in Twitter : A linguistic analysis of their written discourse Ricardo Casañ Pitarch Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain) [email protected] Abstract In Spain, politics is often seen as a profession rather than a service, and thus political discourse should be considered a specialized genre subjected to specific rules and convention. In the 2010s, a new tendency to campaign in politics was the use of social networks, allowing the publication of messages in a virtual environment and the possibility of interacting with other users, Twitter being a popular network. The purpose of this research is to analyze a corpus of 630 tweets published by four Spanish political leaders in their personal Twitter accounts, and consequently to describe their communication style in this social network with the hypothesis that their political views and interests influence their messages. In order to achieve our aim, this research focused on the analysis of written text, emoji, multimedia affordances, and hashtags, and how these elements influenced the politicians’ communication style when dealing with some relevant topics at the time this study was carried out. Keywords: written discourse, Spanish politicians, social networks, Twitter, communication. Resumen Los políticos españoles en Twitter: un análisis lingüístico de su discurso escrito En España, la política suele concebirse como una profesión más que como un servicio, y, por ello, el discurso político debe interpretarse como un género especializado que está sometido a una serie de reglas y convenciones específicas. En la década de los años 2010 surgió una nueva manera de hacer campaña en política mediante el uso de las redes sociales, las cuales permitían la publicación de mensajes cortos en un entorno virtual y la posibilidad de interactuar con otros usuarios.
