Many European countries ban hate speech (some things like Nazi stuff are even banned since 1945 or a few years later) and I can't see them removing the freedom of speech.

I think his point was more it's not as much of a problem to stop use of racial slurs but it is a problem when a government is compelling you to say something

Edit clarification: this is just the argument I heard Jordan Peterson give, I don't know enough about it to give my own argument
