Should be free to say, but there should be consequences for speech that suggests terror/danger. Those who use hate speech depending on their use and content should potentially need mandatory education

It depends on the objective of the speech. If it is to increase hate and division in society then yes. If it just expressing an opinion then no.

Yes. The government CANNOT have the right to infringe on our ability to speak. Unequivocally. No exceptions. No authority figure can be trusted to define hate speech.
