Hate Crime Reporting Act, Internet Speech Monitoring
Senator Ed Markey and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries introduced the Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014, which directs the NTIA to analyze the use of the internet and broadcast media to advocate for violent acts. While currently only a mandate for a report, critics fear it lays the groundwork for future legislation targeting "hate speech." The bill specifically references protections for race, religion, and sexual orientation.
