Kultura "e urrejtjes" në epokën digjitale
The culture of "hate" in the digital epoch

Summary/Abstract: Facing the challenge of saying and writing what you feel and think with the responsibility of the accuracy and objectivity is not anymore a dilemma for most of people. With the new era of technology the hate speech is more and more challenging the freedom of speech. The hate speech is not a recent phenomenon that has been discovered lately with the popularity of social media and technology development. These developments only helped the hate speech to be distributed easier and faster than ever. On the other hand exist a fundamental right for freedom of expression and information that guaranties to everybody the freedom to write offline and online what he or she thinks and believes. That doesn’t mean that freedom of expression is an absolute right, but it is associated with obligation and should be used in a very responsible way. Those rights and responsibilities are more and more relevant among populist tendencies that make especially women a target of the hate speech. In online networks or even on newspaper online, the civic journalism when is not edited and controlled most of the times makes more harm than good. Who is controlling that, if there is control over it? Does the newspaper take any responsibility or this remains in the hands of lunatics that hate everybody normal in this world? The economical crisis that faces the world today is not an excuse for making compromise with human rights.
