The problem with codifying hate speech (and, eventually, punishing for it) is that even today the existing definitions are extremely broad and subjective. UN's own definition includes the use of pejorative language, i.e. "disrespectful connotation, a low opinion, or a lack of respect" towards something. This is clearly illiberal, anti free-speech, and extremely dangerous (society-ending dangerous).
