> Norway has now criminalized "hate speech"

Did you actually read the article before reposting it? It's been illegal there since 1981. The article simply says it's been extended to include new groups.

Yes, I absolutely think hate speech should be restricted, and the laws of most countries agree with that, with the USA being a notable exception:

> A majority of developed democracies have laws that restrict hate speech, including Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, South Africa, Sweden, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom

Do I think hate speech in private should be restricted? I think _probably_ not, but I think this is for the elected legislature to decide, not an idea that is edict from several hundred years ago.
