There's very clear jurisprudence on when free speech can be abridged, and it's not "vague suspicions of being nefarious".

In the 2000s it was the arabs, in the 90s it was the Japanese, in the 80s it was the Russians. What would it look like if we had accumulated laws inhibiting speech from each group? We'd practically have a great firewall by now.
