The problem is that you don't get to draw the line; you only get to erase the previous line and mark the general vicinity where the next line might be.
There's always room for things to get worse. Hate speech laws in particular tend to be pretty draconian so they've got a lot more room for things to go wrong than anti-terror laws (which, as you said, are already abused).
