Who is "we", and why do they get to decide?
- ContrarianBrit 5y agoSociety as a whole, represented by officials such as elected politicians.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoI understand that things are different in Britain, but in this country "society as a whole" doesn't get to run roughshod over the free speech rights of individuals.
