Hate speech is still categorically speech and that's why this is censorship. Seems most people are OK with having some ill defined notion of hate speech and censoring that. Personally, I'm OK with being critical of what I hear and helping others be critical, so I'm generally OK with the existence of hate speech. I think we can mostly all decide who is an asshole without making laws about what assholes can or can't SAY. For the reasons stated in the parent, I would say having free speech is more important than not having hate speech.
