Depends on the case. Hate speech that threatens others physically should be handled accordingly
@8VSL6WWNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, it should be protected by the freedom of speech laws, but there should also be penalties under hate crimes
@8TQTW27New Democratic4yrs4Y
Freedom of speech laws should protect people from being prosecuted over speech within the confines of personal settings. However, freedom of speech laws should not be used to give a platform to those expressing hateful views, or used to protect those promoting violence or blatant discrimination.
