Let’s remember WHY we must fight censorship: not for others but for our (future) selves.
Once censorship becomes acceptable and free speech no longer a principle, the power moves from the speaker(s) to the censors. Today they may be good guys on our side and stop various evil leaders and hateful villains from gathering followers but someday they may be a different kind of "good" guys - guys very intent on stopping us from "undermining the security of the state" or "spreading immoral ideas" or "smearing upstanding citizens".
There is no way to guarantee "good" censors (we can’t even agree what those accepted ideas are or that they will not change) so we MUST fight for freedom of speech.
