> Freedom of speech/expression is a right of every individual on this planet I do think that it's slightly more nuanced. On certain issues there is no freedom of speech. This is when it is determined that the opinions expressed are detrimental to the human race and largely false. Nazi beliefs are in this category. They are so harmful to the public that individual freedom is quashed. incitement to murder is another. You certainly don't have freedom to say everything you like. That would lead to anarchy. Edit: the only true freedom is freedom of belief. You are free to believe anything you like. However you may not always be allowed to pass on those beliefs. The press are given gag orders all the time, it's not the most fundemental human right.

>This is when it is determined that the opinions expressed are detrimental to the human race and largely false. Then any speech that threatens power structures will be determined to be detrimental, and banned. The only way to protect speech is to protect speech, even if you dislike it. That's why the ACLU, before they were coopted as they are today, defended nazis in illinois. Don't be short sighted, be long sighted. Today its nazis, 60 years ago its was activists. Same rules.

  I'm not saying that it's a clear cut issue. I think there are definite cases when freedom of speech causes more harm then good. If someone will preach that we must kill every single person with 8 fingers, for example, we will curtail his freedom with very little consideration.
