So 1st the article conflates hate speech and harassment, and then it implies only unambiguously bad things fall under hate speech, ignoring how Geert Wilders' call for fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands was also ruled as hate speech. Increasingly, advocating any kind of border enforcement is 'hate', and disallowing someone entry into your homeland is 'denying their humanity'.
The article also helpfully states that equal laws have unequal effects on different people, but ignores it would be poor people, unable to pay the costs of defending against a hate speech lawsuit, that would be disproportionately silenced by hate speech laws.
