律师警告不要过度使用刑法进行网上仇恨言论, 因为加拿大的《网上伤害法》加重了对与仇恨有关的犯罪的处罚。 Lawyer warns against overuse of criminal law for online hate speech as Canada's Online Harms Act increases punishment for hate-related offenses.

不列颠哥伦比亚省公民自由协会的一名律师提醒公众, 网络行为涉及真实人物, A British Columbia Civil Liberties Association lawyer reminds the public that online behavior involves real people, as police are developing expertise in identifying individuals posting hateful content on social media. 虽然对冒犯性社交媒体活动的指控很少见，但它们可能会导致对个人在线行为的指控。 While charges for offensive social media activity are rare, they can lead to charges for individuals' online actions. 随着加拿大网上仇恨犯罪的法律环境的演变,联邦政府的《网上伤害法》旨在加大对与仇恨有关的犯罪的处罚力度,并赋予法官根据潜在仇恨犯罪的证据限制行动的权力。 As the legal landscape around online hate crimes evolves in Canada, the federal government's Online Harms Act aims to increase punishment for hate-related offenses and provide judges with power to restrict movements based on evidence of potential hate crimes. 律师告诫说,不得在未造成实际伤害的情况下使用刑法进行有社会问题的演讲。 The lawyer cautions against using criminal law for socially problematic speech without actual harm caused.
