For the first one, hate speech should not be covered under the principle of "Free speech", especially when it contains content that incites violence against others. In this instance, I believe that it would be no different then printing up flyers and handing them out. Although easy to crumple up and ignore, the hate speech should not be permitted.

In the second case, it's more subjective, if he is promoting Nazism as a form of government (i.e. fascism) then that is what "Free Speech" was designed to protect. Alternate views of how to run the government, criticism of the government, and attempts to persuade people for a change in government. BUT, if, like the first example, he is promoting Nazi "Final Solution" and hate against Jews, Slavs, Russians, Gypsies, ect, then that should not be tolerated.

It is a very fine line, and one that gets crossed far too frequently by governments trying to consolidate their own power, and a line that shifts and moves irregularly.

And that is without looking at the legal questions of where the servers are, where the viewings happened, ect ect.
