Background
Discard the Non-Crime Hate Incident Law with regard to social media and journalism including articles, posts, comments and interactions. This is a law that many UK citizens do not support because of it’s ambiguous & subjective nature. There is public concern about the potential of infringement on human rights with regards to freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the right to have a point of view which others may find offensive, but it not unlawful or a criminal offence.
