If it's too broad it becomes open to abuse.
And anything can be interpreted as hate speech, just look at the perversion and abuse of the extant laws.
Using "Hateful speech" at least sets a condition that there was malicious intent of the user.
As a potentially controversial example saying that those who consider themselves transgender are more often mentally ill is obviously not hateful speech because there isn't any ill will behind saying it, but there is a risk of it being labelled as hate speech due to the controversial nature of the topic and recent activist groups.
But I'm not a lawyer so maybe words are more tricky than they seem.

Though I see both terms leading to excessive administrator overreach because they are too generalist and easy to label, specific language is important, and freedom of expression should not be unduly constrained. Although there should be protection against targeted abuse and harassment we don't have the right not to be offended in this world, though some seem people to take everything as a personal insult.
