> People agree to very sensible things. Like hate speech is bad and it’s not censorship if it’s not mandated by the government.

This doesn’t seem very sensible to me, I would even say it seems to be the opposite of sensible, probably because I am not American.

That’s a non sequitur. What do you mean “too?” What does this have to do with the claim that “it’s not censorship if it’s not mandated by the government”?

I suspect they thought you were saying "hate speech is bad" sounds the opposite of sensible, when really you were referring to the part following the 'and'.
