An anti-Semitic YouTube video
titled “Jews admit organizing White genocide” does not constitute a hate speech,
a top Google executive informed the British lawmakers on Tuesday past, according
to a Times of London report.
While the video narrated by ex-Ku
Klux Klan leader David Duke- is “deeply offensive and shocking” it does not
violate YouTube rules against hate speech and will remain on site, Google Vice
President for Communications and Public Affairs Peter Barron said at a British
House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee hearing which marked the start
of a parliamentary into online hate. (cf. Barney Breen-Portnoy, The Algemeiner,
March 15, 2017)
Question:
How would a Canadian Court decide this issue?
