Bear in mind hate speech is already mentioned in a currently-existing law on media content:

The government's policy regarding regulation of media content.

There are laws against the publication of false information; everything else may be published freely.
There are no content regulations; the media may publish anything, even proven falsehoods.
There are laws against the publication of false information and hate speech.
There are laws against the publication of false information, hate speech, and subversive anti-government material.
It is forbidden to criticize the government, or publish any material that the government does not approve of.

This is more about the severity of punishment for hate speech in particular.

I don't understand why the Government providing guidelines would be considered Restrictive. I think the effect fo for the option 1 should be ''Slight move to Big Government, Slight move to Permissive''

Restricting speech, even if only through societal pressure, is definitely not permissive.
