The First Amendment exists to protect controversial speech. No one is getting jailed for discussing the weather or the latest Marvel movie (well, except maybe in North Korea). When governments and corporations can arbitrarily classify things as “hate speech” you better believe they’re going to use it to silence dissent.
When government is coercing companies to censor information it is censorship, and a violation of the 1st Amendment.
