What are the ways in which hate speech laws are used to target vulnerable speakers? C. Are hate speech and religion specific expression laws effective or acceptable when applied to online spaces? C. How can we engage with the Rabat Action Plan and the Istanbul process to incorporate online and gender related challenges? D. Are there opportunities to work out better ways in which online platforms can deal with hate speech, political censorship and other forms of intimidation of speakers online? Specifically, how can online platforms engage better with these issues in the Global South? E. What are the significant and creative counter speech movements in Asia and what has been their contribution?
