> curtail hate speech and radicalization
Would truth be a defense? If you're accused of hate speech, but you can show that everything you said is true*, does that make it legal hate speech? Or would truth also be curtailed, in the name of fighting hate?
*Ignoring for now how truth is determined. For the sake of argument, lets say you have reliable, non-controversial mainstream sources for every statement.
