All this crying about internet freedom is spread by people who are affraid of losing access to free content online, cause they know it's pirated. Free speech doesn't mean you can openly spread anything. There are already laws in place that limit public speech.
Both TV and radio stations are liable for what they broadcast and no, they can't claim this is against freedom of speech - it's their medium and their responsibility to keep an eye on the content. They won't broadcast pirated films or songs. They are not allowed to let politicians spread racial hatred, which is a criminal offence, and call it freedom of speech. So why should internet platforms be exempted from what is the norm in other mass media???
Time to make them liable...

You are wrong, I’m against hate speech but it is a first amendment right.
Only commercial speech have limited first amendment protection.
For the tv stations, have you heard about freedom of the press ?
As far as my own sites, I opened my first site almost 25 years ago, I’m fairly familiar with how that works.
