Someone said: "After all, if freedom of speech means anything, it means a willingness to stand and let people say things with which we disagree, and which do weary us considerably." It's amazing how many get this 'wrong', i.e. the hard thing about free speech is that you need to permit people to say things you vehemently disagree with. For example permitting Mein Kampf to be published, allowing Russia to broadcast their propaganda TV-channels and allowing jihadists on Youtube. Yes, it's not something that most Westerners agree with but that's the point.
