Book ID/图书代码： 08280014B71372

English Summary/英文概要： Emboldened by anonymity, individuals and organizations from both left and right are freely spewing hateful vitriol on the Internet without worrying about repercussions.Lies, bullying, conspiracy theories, bigoted and racist rants, and calls for violence targeting the most vulnerable circulate openly on the web.And thanks to the guarantees of the First Amendment and the borderless nature of the Internet,governing bodies are largely helpless to control this massive assault on human dignity and safety. Abe Foxman and Christopher Wolf expose the threat that this unregulated flow of bigotry poses to the world.They explore how social media companies like Facebook and YouTube, as well as search engine giant Google, are struggling to reconcile the demands of business with freedom of speech and the disturbing threat posed by today’s purveyors of hate. And they explain the best tools available to citizens, parents, educators, law enforcement officers, and policy makers toprotect thetwin values of transparency and responsibility. As Foxman and Wolf show, only an aroused and engaged citizenry can stop the hate contagion before it spirals out of control - with potentially disastrous results.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 由匿名者发起言论后，社会中方方面面的个人和组织都可以肆意地在因特网上恶意中伤他人，而不用担心任何后果。谎言，欺凌，阴谋论，偏执和种族主义在互联网上叫嚣，将暴力施加于最脆弱的群体之上。又因第一修正案和网络的无限制性，政府对于这种大规模的人格侮辱和人身攻击行为无能为力。亚伯拉罕•福克斯曼和克里斯托弗•沃尔夫揭露了这种如病毒般传播的仇恨会对世界造成的威胁。他们探索了像面谱和优特网这样的社交网络，以及搜索引擎巨头谷歌，正在努力在满足商业需求和言论自由中寻找平衡，不让网上的骂战构成威胁。亚伯拉罕•福克斯曼和克里斯托弗•沃尔夫还在书中阐述了对公众，父母，教育者，执法人员和政策制定者最行之有效的工具，能确保互联网的透明度和每个网名应尽的责任。但只有有觉悟，积极参与的公民才能在事情完全失控前阻止仇恨的蔓延。（XAT）

Awards/获奖情况：评论

“亚伯拉罕•福克斯曼和克里斯托弗•沃尔夫在书中阐述了互联网中过度的言论自由将威胁我们珍爱的社会，他们对此做出了积极的贡献，以求获得其中的平衡。这本意义重大的书将引发一系列的讨论，同时，也颇具可读性。”——迈克•麦柯里，前总统比尔•克林顿新闻发言人，合作者

“当许多人质疑第一修正案使得恶意的言论肆意发表时，亚伯拉罕•福克斯曼和克里斯托弗•沃尔夫表示言论自由仍旧应该是第一准则，虽然全球化网络助长了恶意言论，但它同时也使公民能发表反对言论，能获得教育，并在法律的范畴类有所行动。这个问题的本质其实取决于从网络中受益的人们是否也能约束自己的言行。”——莱斯利•哈瑞斯，民主与技术中心董事，执行总裁

“权衡言论自由和网络恶意言论之间的利弊如今已经显得十分重要和紧迫。网络是迄今为止最大的传播信息工具，亚伯拉罕•福克斯曼和克里斯托弗•沃尔夫在书中充分讨论了其中的利弊。我认为这本书是必读书籍。”——约西•瓦尔迪计算机即时消息程序成立投资者

Review

“Abe Foxman and Chris Wolf have done a remarkable job in Viral Hate of balancing important concerns about freedom of expression with a blunt look at how the Internet can distort those freedoms to undermine a democratic society that we cherish. This is a significant book that will provoke discussion and the good news is that it is thoroughly readable as well.”
--Mike McCurry, former Press Secretary to President Bill Clinton, Partner, Public Strategies Washington

“At a time when many question whether the First Amendment is up to the challenge of hate speech in a borderless medium, Foxman and Wolf argue that fealty to first principles must remain the lodestar. While the global Internet may have amplified the voices of hate, it has also enriched the responses available in our constitutional tool box. Our capacity for counter speech, education, and responsible action is now unbounded. It is now up to all who benefit from the open Internet to heed the call.”
--Leslie Harris, President, CEO, Center for Democracy & Technology

“The tradeoff between freedom of speech on the one end and the right to be protected from vicious wide spread hatred and bigotry on the other end was never more essential, more challenging, more urgent, and more tricky than it is today. The internet being, for better or worse, the ever-biggest propagation engine in history, makes it all the more critical. This tricky balance is thoroughly discussed by Abe Foxman and Christopher Wolf. A must read.”
--Yossi Vardi, Founding Investor, ICQ (Computer Instant Messaging Program)
