Of course, it is also necessary to counter hate speech itself. The
countermeasures for hate speech can be classified into “Limitations in Behavior”
that directly forbid hate speech and “Establishing Environments” that make hate
speech difficult to express in public or establish conditions so that hate speech
cannot be powerful in society. If limitations in behavior can have direct and
immediate effects, establishing environments may be indirect and may not show
immediate effects, but can eliminate factors that lead to hate speech in the midto long-term. Table 1 provides a general outline of the above discussion.
