I think we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater by framing the argument that way. Possession and transmission of child pornography has always been illegal and technically an infringement on freedom of speech, but we carved an exemption for that because the negative effect on political speech is minimal.
That does not imply it's always been open season on silencing political opponents.

- moduspol 6y agoIt has not previously been the case that using common political rhetoric like "fight like hell" was equivocated with "inciting violence," and we carved it out for law enforcment and courts to adjudicate--not private companies.
