Free speech must have sane boundaries drawn at some arbitrary level. Death threats and terrorism surely go beyond what should be acceptable.

- deltaonefour 5y agoThen it's not free speech. It's speech with sane boundaries. Calling it free is a lie. You are conflating the ideals of free speech and trying to merge it with realistic expectations. The reality is free speech does not work.
- imiric 5y agoWe can label it something else then, but I agree that absolute free spech does not work.
- deltaonefour 5y ago"absolute free speech" lol. If I used Free wifi at starbucks and before I left the clerk tried to charge me a dollar for internet because it wasn't "absolutely free" then I would call it false advertising. Don't use the words free and speech together if it's not "absolutely free."
