The main problem with free speech to the extend that I understand the problem is that it is binary: you either have/support/believe in free speech or you don’t.

The main problem with free speech to the extend that I understand the problem is that it is binary: you either have/support/believe in free speech or you don’t. The moment you introduce laws about “hate speech”, “banning XY” for all the right reasons, etc. you don’t have “free speech”, unfortunately. Every person supporting free speech should always keep in mind that free speech is about allowing absurd, horrendous, stupid, inconceivable ideas floating around. Having the patience and maturity to confront these ideas with arguments is key to free speech. Free speech is easy to take away. But to restore, takes a lot of blood on the streets.
