I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word 'censorship'.
Who would you have define hate speech in the US? SCOTUS?
Many citizens may agree on the definition, but I wouldn’t trust our government to draw those lines.
Many countries have working anti-hate speech laws. It’s not really a big problem for freedom of speech in those countries.
*Freedom of Expression
We don't have Freedom of Speech, but we do have Freedom of Expression. Important difference, even though it may freak out some Americans.
