every country should be careful of this for the sake of social harmony and protection of its citizens
in France and other countries, there has been the recall of magazines and books which have been deemed offensive. this turns out to be quite costly to the publisher and one or two incidents would be useful deterrents.
Or, shorter version: I don't buy your causal chain. You're engaging in a slippery slope fallacy.
And on the subject of "social harmony and the protection of its citizens," one might just as easily argue that a syndicalist agitator promoting strikes and blockades as means to achieve higher wages is disrupting the "social harmony" and that citizens need to be "protected" from him.
Lastly, I notice that you keep conflating offencive speech with hate speech. Do you think that the two are the same? If so, who determines what is offencive?

so union busters would only be using hate speech if they were trying to bust up a union of Santa's elves. ;-)
