You left out half that definition that doesn't suit your narrative. This is the full definition. "abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a particular group, especially on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation."
Hate speech creates a hostile environment that prevents people from marginalized groups from being able to participate. Effectively resulting in a ban.

A hostile environment does not stop people from speaking, If someone chooses not to speak because of the environment then that is on them, They are not being forced to stop speaking they are choosing to but a ban prevents someone from speaking completely
