Social violence underlies virtually all forms of oppression, including Apartheid and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Shutting down free speech and limiting what people can believe, think and say is a worse form of violence than simple assault.

That can only be enforced via the threat or intimidation of physical violence though.

Not necessarily. Peer pressure, ostracization itself is a form of violence. You may have views that no one around you considers to be within the acceptable realms of polite society and you wont express them out of fear of being isolated. We are social animals. Gays have faced social violence for decades - physical too, but most of them were afraid of the social isolation and ridicule that would often lead to suicide more than anything.
