Broadcasting Hate Speech Legality

Summary

Broadcasting content that includes hate speech, even with disclaimers, can violate Belgian laws. Using a U.S.-based host does not exempt you from Belgian jurisdiction. In the U.S., the First Amendment protects free speech but not incitement to violence or true threats. Canada and Mexico have stricter laws against hate speech. In Asia, laws vary by country, but many have strict regulations against hate speech. Writing a book with characters expressing hate speech can still be a violation in Belgium, even if artistically approved. Expressing opinions like discrimination laws are stupid is generally protected under freedom of speech in Belgium, but incitement to hatred or violence is not.
