      I don’t mind censorship in this case either. If the speech/expression is actively harmful, then it absolutely should be censored.

      I agree, which is why I don’t have an issue with just the concept of censorship. There are things that are better off disallowed.

      I will also add that some kinds of expression that is just being (or could be) harmful to a single person is more than enough for something to deserve being hate speech and/or disallowed speech. Bullying for example.

          Still, there is a lot of personally harmful content (content that harms or could harm even one person) that should be in the hypothetical term too.

              Well there is content that isn’t strictly “hateful” but is still very harmful. For example, stuff involving sexual abuse or pedophilia.
