Hate speech also refers to speech, conduct, or expression that offensively targets individuals or groups based on characteristics. Hate speech may rise to the level of discriminatory harassment or criminal harassment in some cases, but it may also be considered protected speech where the conduct does not constitute discriminatory or criminal harassment, or fall into some other category that is not protected. Protecting some forms of hate speech is an attempt to balance first amendment rights with the prevention of harm and the protection of marginalized groups.
