You can’t undo that, not to mention it not illegal to fire someone because if you read some false facts in the paper
Both approaches rely on punishment disincentivizing others from behaving in the same way. Except that hate speech laws are a bludgeon that a) can be easily circumvented by clever speech that is still going to encourage violence and b) is guaranteed to be used sooner or later as a pretense to silence dissidents whose speech would not result in violence. They are really only one tiny step removed from trying to combat thought crimes.
> Not to mention it not illegal to fire someone because if you read some false facts in the paper
Some countries have strong worker protections that actually make it quite hard to fire someone without a good reason.
Is basically the argument you’re making here. So I guess we shouldn’t have any punishment for any behaviour then eh?
If you also abolish the notion of intellectual property as well as trade secrets, both of which are severe limitations on free speech, then sure. Otherwise it's just another case of wanting free speech when it suits the company but wanting to restrict it when it doesn't.
> Lies about your character? Your kids? made up stuff that whips up entire segments of your city to commit violence or vandalism against you?
Sure, as long as the actual violence and vandalism is harshly punished to discourage people from acting on falsehoods. The speech was never the real problem here.
