Jacinda ArdernÔÇÖs calls for censorship is a ÔÇÿwar on freedom

[Wainuiguy]

my daddy used to say, Freedom of speech does not give you freedom from accountability.

At one extreme you have people saying dumbshit, but if they cross lines they can be held to account with defamation or other laws. 

But the other extreme is patently obvious that some people should not be able to speak there misguided views period (e.g Hitler et al).  Factors affecting that might be their social influence and standing in the community, someone like The Bish who has influence should be subjected to a higher bar than some noname that has no friends...  so I say good on Labour for at least trying to define where that fine line is...

But  Labour haven't.  That is the point.   They talked it up big but in the end will introduce a law that is a poor example of what they would do.  A good thing because what they proposed was so bad it scared the media.
