En el CELE decidimos mirar la Convención más de cerca y lo que encontramos nos preocupó. Si bien los fines que persigue la Convención son indiscutiblemente loables, los términos en los que están definidos los alcances de las obligaciones que impone al estado son preocupantes desde la libertad de expresión. Es por ello que decidimos escribir un artículo que salió publicado en el último volúmen de la Revista Argentina …

Legal Approaches to Hate Speech Within the Internet Ecosystem: Speed, Scope, and Scale
CELE Research Paper No. 70SSRN ID: 5557303The debate over how to de"ne hate speech, particularly in the online world, is far from settled. Defnitions from international documents are still vague and ambiguous, whereas States around the world have been adopting in their respective legal systems diverse definitions of hate speech. In this context, some States may have stepped beyond the thresholds established under international human rights law by using this concept as a way of categorizing ideas that the majority or those in power may f
Moderating Hate or Moderating Rights? The Paradox of the European Approach to Online Hate Speech and Platform Liability
CELE Research Paper No. 69SSRN ID: 5432875This paper critically assesses the European approach to regulating online hate speech through platform liability frameworks, focusing on Germany’’s Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG) and the European Union’’s Digital Services Act.

Criminalization of Discriminatory Expression in the Americas: The Case of Non-Consensual Pornography Regulation in Argentina
CELE Research Paper No. 31SSRN ID: 5146360This article, based on a contribution to the 2018 report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women, addresses the growing trend in Latin America toward the criminalization of online speech.

In this regard, this paper analyzes, from a freedom of expression perspective, the specific case of legisl
