RE: A smart and forward-thinking society respects freedom of speech, especially when it is offensive.

Nice article! I think a lot of people mix up the concept of "dangerous speech", which should be forbidden and "hate speech" as you described it.
I totally agree, that especially in Europe the political elite is pushing for censoring ("hate") speech. For example in Germany companies like Facebook now decide which posts should be deleted and which not. And they are forced so by law. I think this is sick.
