Abstract
"Los límites a la libertad de expresión quedan puestos a prueba en nuestras democracias cuando tenemos que hacer frente al discurso discriminatorio. Un pensador que precisamente ya se enfrentó al problema de dichas limitaciones fue John Stuart Mill, quien formuló lo que se ha llamado “principio del daño” en su On Liberty (1859), y según el cual lo único que podía autorizar individual o colectivamente a turbar la libertad de acción de alguien era la propia protección. Basándose en este fundamento otros autores han intentado después reconstruir la categoría de “ofensa”, con el fin de restringir conductas que caerían fuera de la órbita del “daño”. Sin embargo, On Liberty es una obra de raro vigor en su defensa de las libertades, incluso para quienes desean sofisticar sus premisas introduciendo elementos que justifiquen ciertas restricciones a la libertad de expresión. La debilidad del pensamiento milleano, por tanto, al menos una que nos sirva para extraer lecciones en nuestras democracias, sólo puede aparecer cuando advertimos sus fallas a la luz de una lectura conjunta tanto de On Liberty como de Considerations On Representative Government (1861), indicativas de una injustificada escisión entre la libertad de expresión y los derechos de participación política, y que excluiría a ciertos sujetos de la ciudadanía" ["The limits on freedom of expression are tested in our democracy when we have to deal with hate speech. A thinker who faced the problem of those limitations was John Stuart Mill, who formulated what has been called “harm principle” in his On Liberty (1859), and according to which the only good reason to interfere with an individual’s liberty is to prevent harm to others. On these grounds, several authors have tried to reconstruct the category of “offense”, in order to forbid varieties of conduct even though they do not cause harm to others. However On Liberty is a remarkable work in defense of liberty, even for those who want to refine their premises introducing elements that justify restrictions on freedom of expression. Certainly the weakness of Mill’s thought, at least one that help us to draw lessons for our democracies, appears only when we notice its flaws in light of a joint reading of On Liberty and Considerations On Representative Government (1861). This task points out an unjustified split between free speech and political participation rights, and one that would exclude certain individuals from citizenship indeed"]
