    I think that if something is made illegal, it should be very clearly defined. “Hate speech” is wide open to interpretation and can easily be used to silence all kinds of speech. The issue isn’t the obvious cases but where exactly we draw the line. If that line can’t be made crystal clear, it’s a slippery slope toward tyranny. Being offensive is okay - spreading hate and inciting violence isn’t.
