> But once you ban antisemitism (or racism, sexism, etc.) it becomes possible to censor ideas simply by labeling as such, even when such a label is inappropriate.

This is transparently specious reasoning, because it can be used without modification to delegitimize any law or restriction.

It's OK to say action X is appropriate in context A but not in context B. It's OK to legislate on those differences, even if the difference between A and B is not always perfectly discernable. We can deal with that ambiguity as a species. Not always perfectly, but that's OK. As long as we're always reducing suffering, or trying to, we're making forward progress.
