Here's the thing, every time anyone has ever tried to define what hatespeech is, the definition is always circular, and each chunk of the definition is roughly a synonym for the chunk before it, so it doesn't actually tell you anything.
No hatespeech means no racism and no bigotry and no targeting of groups? Well, okay. But just understand that it's like if somebody asked you to define what water is, and instead of telling them that water is two hydrogen atoms bound to an oxygen atom, you tell them "Water is the substance that is created when the materials that form it are bonded". Sure, I guess that's a truism, but it didn't help me understand what water is.
