Again, point is totally missed! Simple terms, and perhaps a better way of framing my point. Whichever way you choose to look at it, freedom of speech is a responsibility granted by society that is taken too lightly. Society needs to reframe it.
> Ethics and morals are totally arbitrary, and are the last thing I want governing free speech.
>The courts can decide if it falls under non-protected classes of speech like hate speech, etc.Ethics and morals are totally arbitrary, and are the last thing I want governing free speech. All we can do is let people exercise their free speech (or not), and decide whether or not to listen, etc. After all, it's only protection from the government, not from private businesses or individuals' reactions.
Laws come from societal ethics and morality and the judiciary is part of the state/government.
