"blasphemy - which by definition doesn't attack anyone" There is a difference of course, but religious affiliation is absolutely a 'protected category' in most places and it's a very nuanced thing to say 'attacking a faith' is not attacking a culture or group. Most people in the world identify more with their faith as much as they do nationality, or skin colour. "Here's my funny, irreverent comment about X Religion" "Here's my funny movie questioning X Religion" "Here's me in a costume of X Religious Figure" "X Religious Figure is a cockroach" "People who follow Religious X Figure are cockroaches" "These Specific Religious Folks are cockroaches" "This Specific Religious Building is full of cockroaches" "There's no evidence This Specific Religious group was massacred" I'm going to bet some of those things are possibly a little 'blasphemous' but really benign, whereas others are 'blasphemous' to the point of straight up, 'hate speech' by legal definition. It get complicated quickly, it's not all just benign. In India, Myanmar etc. this seems to be quite evidently a problem, especially on Facebook.
