Labels on shared machinery

Classification overlays

Antisemitism labeling is one overlay among others. The same kind of influence — a definition, a hostility test, a duty to police — can be carried by racial hatred, Islamophobia, sex, religion, Holocaust denial, extremism, online harm, a hate umbrella, a below-crime record, or a counter-label. Organizations can carry those labels through governance, commercial pressure, philanthropy, or enforcement without writing a speech crime. Same influence is not the same law.

Thirteen classifications. Keep the legal form.

Some venues write a speech offence around listed organizations and acts. The rest are overlays on other machinery. Open a classification, then the country.

Scope creep — five axes

Dashboard — sticker by sector

The thing to watch is not a new listed-speech offence. It is a sticker hopping into a sector that already has the machinery. Architecture is not completed spread.

Classification by sector. Live means a quoted instrument. Architecture means the statute already covers the sector. Unproven means no pack.

This is a pattern grid over cited instruments, not a completed worldwide fact. Hover a cell where a note exists. Open a sticker for the quoted clause.

How to read this

The badge is the claim. The sentence is the fact. Unproven and Disputed stay where they are.

SupportedA hate-classification overlay is not a listed-speech offence by other means. Direct listed-speech offences and overlay stickers are different legal forms.

UnprovenCited venues have quoted clauses. Partial pointers are not quotes. Open cells are open. 193 members on the grid is not 193 quotes.

UnprovenIslamophobia has no IHRA-equivalent funding import on this pack. Institutional use is Inference. The statute is Unproven here.

SupportedCanada C-9 is law (in force 18 July 2026). C-34 is first reading. C-63 died. Neither C-34 nor C-63 is law.

SupportedCanada s.83.221 is counselling a terrorism offence without identifying a specific one. That is not a listed-speech offence on the identification/praise model.

Unproven‘Anti-Palestinian racism’ is not a statute in the cited venues. Function as a counter-sticker is Inference. Import is Unproven.

UnprovenEngland and Wales 2023 NCHI Code is the live attached instrument. Reform was announced 31 March 2026. Revocation is Unproven.

DisputedMotive, overbreadth, and a single directing agenda across stickers remain Disputed.
