Probably a hot take, but I think this is a good thing. The line between political censorship and censorship in general is not as fine as everyone seems to think. For example, many people who aren't okay with political censorship are okay with the government censoring porn for underage children.
How are we going to deter assholish behavior from people who are out of their parents' and probably have no friends? I don't think jail time is the right answer, but at that point the government is the only real entity with the ability/right to correct their behavior.
I don't think it's society's job to engineer the non-violent and non-criminal behavior of its members but one thing that comes to mind to try: working to build a society that's worth their constructive participation rather than one where speaking their minds lands them in custody. Not to mention your position is incredibly myopic. If the government defines offense then what you're suggesting is basically a system where offense is conjured up to censor on behalf of the party that currently enjoys power. This may target your enemies today, but your friends tomorrow.
Any society of sufficient size will attract trolls who don't care about the worth of the society.
I think politics and government are intertwined as a matter of history, not as a matter of inevitable fact. Political rivals can disagree and use systems to disenfranchise one another, but they can also agree on some norms of decency (in an ideal world these would align with their constituents, but as a matter of history they tend to be the norms of some established elite).
If you want to call my position myopic, look at Jan 6th and what the lack of censorship had done then. There is plenty of harm caused by deliberately not censoring some things, as it gives a chance for malicious groups to grow.
What I think is myopic is the overall attitude "censorship bad, free speech good." It's incredibly individualistic and could only exist in the experiment that is the U.S.
Also: the line between nonviolent and violent behavior is, as all other lines, fairly blurry. Do we censor attempts to incite riots under free speech? If so, why do we not also censor statements that promote a culture of hating society?
