Compared to the US, they don’t. 1A protections are extremely broad, to be outside protected speech it practically has to be either CSAM or inciting immediate lawless action.
As in “SLUR should be hanged from trees” is protected under 1A, “Guys, grab that SLUR over there and string him up” is not. CSAM is primarily illegal because production, distribution and even possession further harms the victim of the CSA performed to create it.
Yup, between that and the lack of gun control is no wonder the US is the way it is.
On paper, that level of freedom is lovely. In practice it just lets the worst people be violent assholes with zero consequences.
I’ll take the German/Canadian/NZ approach every day!
