The Canadian Hate-Speech law is so open-ended and up for interpretation you could drive a bus through it.

Ah, okay. Still doesn't seem like it's actually that concrete though. There's always need for interpretation, especially in a modern context where speech 'freely circulated through the press' no longer looks like it used to.
Also, as I pointed out before, platforms like YouTube aren't really open marketplaces of ideas. They actually do the opposite, and are more likely to create bubbles where people don't get exposed to the other side while becoming more and more extreme believers in one point of view.
And where would you draw the line between 'vigorous response' and doxing? It kind of seems like doxing is part of a vigorous response.
