Justice and Development Party

Strongly agree

No

The AKP has shown a tendency to suppress speech that it deems harmful or offensive. This includes hate speech, which the party likely believes should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. This is evidenced by the party's frequent use of laws against 'insulting the president' to prosecute individuals for their speech.

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

The AKP has shown a willingness to use legal penalties to suppress speech that it deems harmful or offensive. Therefore, it is likely that the party would support increasing penalties for hate speech. This is evidenced by the party's frequent use of laws against 'insulting the president' to prosecute individuals for their speech.

Agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

While the AKP may not support full protection of hate speech, it might agree with a more nuanced position that allows for some forms of offensive speech as long as they do not threaten violence. This is in line with the party's use of laws against 'insulting the president' to prosecute speech that it deems harmful, but not necessarily violent.

Disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While the AKP has shown a willingness to suppress speech that it deems harmful or offensive, it has not limited this to criticism of the government. Therefore, it is unlikely that the party would agree that freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government. This is evidenced by the party's use of laws against 'insulting the president' to prosecute a wide range of speech.

Strongly disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

The AKP, as the governing party in Turkey, likely trusts itself to define the boundaries of hate speech. Therefore, it would probably disagree with the idea that hate speech should be protected because the government cannot be trusted to define it. This is evidenced by the party's frequent use of laws against 'insulting the president' to prosecute individuals for their speech.
