I think this meme has caused some anarchists to lose sight of what it is all about. The point is, as anarchists, we don't respect a capitalist state enforced, violence backed "freedom". Moreover it doesn't apply when removing someone's platform, so it's funny to mock the alt-right with freeze peach memes.
However, some anarchists using this meme have used it to justify speech laws. We should not be advocating to give the state more power to abuse us with! Yes, hate speech in general is bad, must be opposed, and platforms removed. But that does not mean we should ever advocate for the fascist capitalist state to impose itself or set legal precedents where we could potentially be attacked by the state for stating our opinions!
This is very important since leftists, Palestinian activists, muslims, feminists, etc. have been attacked and jailed for having differing opinions under the guise of "hate speech". E.g. in the case of BDS. I hope you call leftists out who misuse this meme to argue for giving the state more power.

I've never seen anarchists wanting laws, but I'll take your word for it.
