WATCH: World Economic Forum Panelist Says the US Will ‘Soon’ Have ‘Illegal Hate Speech’ Laws

Hate speech laws, of course, would be a direct violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. 

Jourova made the claim on a panel on “the clear and present danger of disinformation” with former CNN Host Brian Stelter on Tuesday.

“For hate speech, we need the people who understand the language and the case law in the country, because what qualifies as hate speech, illegal hate speech, which you will have soon also in the U.S., we have a strong reason why we have this in the criminal law,” Jourova said.
