As politicians realize that they can control and condemn speech, where it is not legally protected as it is in the United States via the first amendment, they will use it as tool to silence those they find distasteful, wielding it against their opponents.

Tommy Robinson was arrested in the United Kingdom for merely stepping into public, while Conor McGregor is under a heat speech investigation for proclaiming that the Irish aren't taking immigration seriously.
