This line actually comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States , in which it was ruled that distributing pamphlets protesting the draft was not legal free speech.

> Because that is harmful to society.

So you agree that "harmful to society" is valid reasoning .. which justifies banning things like holocaust denial and incitement to racism?

Holocaust denial no, incitements to saying the N word no, but incitements to physically harm people because of their race or ethnicity yes.

I would say the harm of those individual actions don’t rise to the harm of restricting the speech itself, with a bias towards free speech.
