Would a ban on Germany's AfD Party strengthen its democracy — or jeopardize it? Using history and human rights law, @nataliealkiviadou.bsky.social and @thejustncase.net explain how this approach can backfire.

I recent read this forthcoming book by @nataliealkiviadou.bsky.social taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1... It's a really forensic and detailed critique of the often unprincipled and illiberal caselaw of the European Court of Human Rights on hate speech. Essential reading if you're writing in the area.
