The country where I live only banned hate speech in 2017, and I think the world was fine before it. The issue is not that we need more laws to ban any kind of speech, but we need to actually enforce the existing laws instead. Before 2017 we only had a law for “instigation of the people”, which worked fine and did not ban "hate speech" per se.
