There is a Constitutional Right of Free Speech and Free Assembly. It is the speech that we most disagree with that requires our protection.

Re: Freedom of Speech vs Hate Speech
Unless there is some law broken I'm not sure what legal jeopardy incurs.
In the US, TTBOMK Hate Speech is not illegal or prohibited, thank God.
Saying that Jews should be killed is no different than Trump saying protesters at his rally should be taken out on a litter. I see absolutely no difference between what Trump did and what was said at the Charlottesville rally.
Behavior though can incur legal criminal ramifications. If the group prepared to round up Jews or attacked Jews or burned a synagogue then those individuals could be arrested.
But there are also civil sanctions possible. The organization could be sued in civil court if a actual case could be made that they caused physical or emotional trauma to an identified party. That was the tactic used to sue the KKK in the past which allowed financial sanctions against the organization and it's leaders and pretty much shut it down for a half century.

civil vs criminal
It is legally protected, Thank God.
AbE:
Let me expand on that.
There is nothing criminal in such platforms.
NOW, it would be possible for an offended party "Jews in your example or non white people" to claim damage is done by such a platform and seek civil remedy. If they can convince a court that actual damage was done by such a platform then civil penalties (usually financial) could be imposed.

So when Black Lives Matters goes to the streets and chants "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" and "What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now.", and then people actually go out and kill cops, are you on board with BLM being dealt with for this?
HUH?
Sorry but dealt with for what?

Worry not Faith; just remember that when you do come face to face he says "you can call me Al."
