>"Hate" is not illegal

It is under anti-hate laws. That's the point of the laws.

>Do you also support Chat Control because "it's a good law in spirit"?

I don't support chat control because I don't think the ability of the state to monitor private conversations is good in spirit. However, prosecuting people who spread hatred in public spaces and media is beneficial - this has nothing to do with chat control.

Anti-hate laws are a veiled attack on free speech. If you accept the premise of hate being quantifiable to raid people's homes for sharing their opinion online you're arguing in favor of oligarch-led public partnerships between surveillance capitalism and an authoritarian state.

Anti hate laws are a curb on the genocidal origins of our species. It is atrocious and causes a lot of suffering.
