[Simple Reproduction and Distribution] An online environment can increase in the harmful nature of hate speech, as it can be easily reproduced and distributed. 5) Intentions and Effects of Hate Speech The malicious intentions of those who use hate speech are not an absolute prerequisite of hate speech. Hate speech may occur when people are not wellinformed about something, when they are careless, or even when they have good intentions. Furthermore, the results of a statement do not determine whether the statement is hate speech. Hate speech may occur even if the statement ultimately fails to bring problematic results. However, when determining measures to counter hate speech, it is necessary to examine the intentions and motivations of hate speech in detail. Stronger regulations should be enforced for hate speech with malicious intentions and that actually leads to problematic results. [Intentions] Legislation that regulates hate speech in criminal terms is generally aimed at hate speech with certain intentions. Although the intentions of hate speech do not have to be present for other legal regulations or self-regulations, certain measures should consider the intentions and purpose of hate speech. It is important to actively prevent and rectify unintentional hate speech caused by ignorance by taking various measures to change the environment. 57
