Agree

No

The LDP has shown support for measures to limit hate speech. The 2016 law to curb hate speech is a clear example of this. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party has not been extremely vocal or active in pushing for more stringent regulations on hate speech.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

The LDP, while supportive of measures to limit hate speech, also values freedom of speech more broadly. They would likely disagree with the idea that freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government, as this is a very narrow interpretation of freedom of speech.
