European views on "hate speech" and in particular inciting racial hatred against minority groups are very much informed by the Holocaust having happened.
One person saying hateful things can be ignored. A whole mob cannot.

The only way to stop Germans from reading such things is to have a Great Firewall of Germany. But that has consequences too...

I don't see that limiting free speech if going to be good if it is implemented with the same hypocrisy and biased way as our society is (including media and people) now.
But then lament your past policy. Don't attack the ones whose constitution you created.
I've ignored mobs of people saying hateful things plenty of times (pro-lifers, 12 tribes, unions). Sometimes I stop to make fun of them, but as long as they don't get violent there's no problem.
