Abstract

The Web 2.0 technology has eased hate speech spreading, although it aims to create communication and information convenience. We formulate a frame enabling a person encountering hate speech to respond by using Durkheim’s religious perspective and Machiavelli’s politic perspective. The responses are divided into two strategies: the normative compliance strategy, particularly on the religion, and the Machiavellian strategy. The discussion relates the two strategies by employing education as the long-term response strategy to hate speech.
