Have you considered the implications of when people can force others to perform services, involving expressions of speech, against their will? You could go into an Islamic cake shop and demand they draw an image of 'happy Mohammed' on a cake for you. You could demand Bob's Marketing Company create and execute a campaign stating that Bob's Marketing Company is the worst. And so on.
That's just at the high level if you can actually get the law to function. Which is itself a huge question. That's where you get into questions like what is sexual imagery? What is hate speech? Who defines that? For instance back in the more puritanical times of the US, which really was not all that long ago, there were numerous laws against indecent material. And again the problem regularly faced is how do you define it? Consider all the content that would be naturally ambiguous. Consider other content that intentionally slides in or out of the restrictions for whatever end. Not so easy!
