Having hate speech laws doesn't equate to the state giving takedown notices. More likely the individual will be prosecuted as has happened in the past few weeks of social unrest.

But that is my argument! In UK takedown notices are given by some non-profit organization (not state), or are covered by TOS violation. But it is just censorship!

Compare how social media handled recent UK protests, and "summer of love" riots in 2020!

Clearly not according to their source. Do you have any data to back up your claim?

> In 2022, over 21,000 individuals in Russia were penalized for such “offences”, with 2,307 given administrative detention and the rest heavy fines

> in year ending March 2022, there were 155,841 hate crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales

I call counter-bullshit. Provide some source with numbers.
