We don't have laws against "hate speech" in the USA, so we'll see how it goes. Incitement is another matter. More than "hate speech" which I would think is difficult to define. I worry about lies, AKA "fake news". Not the fake news that's called that because some right-wing loon doesn't like it, but the outright made-up things. It used to be the liberal folks were the ones who argued FOR free speech, and now, they're the ones worried about what will happen if folks have free speech. I believe the main reason is that people used to be able to identify lies, and these days, they can't, or won't.
