Summary/Abstract: This article shows the complexity of hate speech as a colluded notion, both in terms of philosophy of language and praxis. It is argued that hate speech has been well known, but it has widely changed due to the rise of the Internet. Defining the framework for the communication and the ethical aspect thereof as a normative determinant in the process of indirect communication is of considerable theoretical and academic significance. In addition to this,it also has practical implications. The author argues that hate speech is used to recount facts and present social reality, but also to manipulate and persuade.
