Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting

Hate speech isn't free speech.

Any free speech isn't necessarily hate speech but any hate speech surely isn't free speech.

There's a huge difference and that restraint is ingrained in these societies based on their past experiences.

Absolutely right! E. G. freedom of speech is in the German constitution one of the highest items. But it isn't higher than human dignity.

If you slander somebody your freedom of speech and their dignity need to be balanced.

In Germany we have chosen to rank dignity higher.

And it is as simple as that. I prefer that.

Who gets to define what constitutes “hate speech”?

Who defines what constitutes "hate speech"? Do you not recognize this as a hangar-sized backdoor?
