I'm worried about the EU forcing prior restraint and self-censorship

Hate speech? What's that? Does that involve saying that EU officials are corrupt and should be arrested? Because that may be (from my viewpoint) overstatement and hyperbole, but it is legitimate political speech.

My rule is:

-Saying odious things about group A should be legal, barring incitement to violence

-Saying odious things about group A and then encouraging people to beat/rob/kill/harass them should be illegal.
