In fact, this is the worst time for such measures. Democracy is under attack around the world. The right to speak is democracy’s foundation stone. Using the law to curb expression, even of the most extreme kind, is always a mistake, and it is especially dangerous now. Just look at what is happening south of the border.

You could very easily conclude what happened in the US was because they never stopped hate speech from Churches, AlexJones, Charlie Kirk etc...

There is no clear right or wrong. Censorship is a tool. It's danger is in how and who wields it. No censorship just allows hate to flow unimpeded which can be just as dangerous as censorship.
