The latter is generally not a good thing, but the alternative is that government bureaucrats have the ability to arbitrarily decide what is "hate speech" vs what is a normal insult or even a statement with no aggressive intention in the first place. ex: someone called me a "hateful racist" the other day for sharing an interview with an IQ researcher, even though absolutely nothing in the interview said anything about race, and neither had I throughout the course of the conversation.
Such "hate speech" must be proven in Court before any government action is taken. I doubt you would be convicted. Generally I agree with you; "hate speech" charges should be reserved for inciting violence. At least that's what I THINK I think!
