• There's a need to delicately balance freedom to express ideas and regulation of hate speech.
• Current proposals include banning those convicted of hate crimes and introducing identity verification on social media.
• As social media is integral to freedom of expression, controversy arises over these restrictions.
• Anonymity can enable abuses but also protects the vulnerable.
• Creation of a user registration system has been proposed twice in Spain, and both times rejected.

Conclusion: Legislating in this area requires caution due to its impact on fundamental rights to expression and privacy.
