Supposing one standard is "ban hate speech" and another is "freedom of speech" - how do you choose the higher standard of those two?

  In an international human rights context, typically, freedom of speech is a qualified right as opposed to an absolute right. In other words it can be curtailed to an extent if it comes into conflict with other human rights.

    That's one point of view, but others exist.

      It’s not a point of view, it’s the legal position of at least the European Convention on Human Rights/UK Human Rights Act and I believe also the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
