The thesis focused on assessing whether the speaking back policy presented by Katharine Gelber would work in a context like Estonia. I started by introducing hate speech, which is a growing problem in today's society. Hate speech causes harm to victims, which in turn diminishes the target’s speech capabilities and takes away their feeling of inclusion in society. I found that there are two ways to combat hate speech, one is speech restricting laws and the other is using alternative approaches such as the speaking back approach.
