In some ways the whole thing supports a classic argument for free speech: better people know this guy had that kind of opinion (the "like") and intervene, either though anti radicalization programs or at worst keeping an eye on him. If he keeps his views private or underground, we only learn about them when he does something really bad.
- mulmen 6y agoThis is a perspective I have not seen before. It's very interesting. I've always viewed freedom of speech from a purely personal liberty perspective but you are right that it also creates an opportunity for the rest of society to hear and react to that speech. For better or worse. I'm not totally comfortable with this because it creates a situation in which people may be compelled to speak or reproduce the speech of others for the supposed benefit to society. This is a very interesting perspective I will continue to consider.
