To deny this is to deny words have any meaning or influence. Not to mention inciting violence can be an immediate risk, And worst still think of all monsters we would need let off the hook merely because they only encouraged other people to do their dirty work. All in all, there must be a curtailing of violent speech and the dehumanizing of vulnerable groups. Free Speech absolutism is reckless nonsense.
I am against allowing inciting violence, where people call for violence, and I've said that all along. I am in favour of allowing incitement of hatred, because they are just expressing their views.

We just don't call them that. Additionally, as in your country, we have a pretty high bar for successful prosecution on those counts. It's almost never incitement, it's almost never sedition - until it is. None of our free speech protects a person when they cross that threshold.
Do you have links so I can see what you mean?
