Let me take a stab in the dark: you think "free speech" refers only to the United States' First Amendment, and not a universal principle, which:
* according to Wikipedia, is "a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction"
* or, according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is the "freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
- phillipcarter 4y agoYou're shifting goalposts.
- noptd 4y agoNo, you need to be more precise in your wording if you're not getting your intended message across.
- phillipcarter 4y agoThere's really nothing else to say here other than, "no, you do".
- taxyz 4y agoJust stating the type of fallacy being made is not evidence the fallacy occurred. You should qualify how the goalpost is being shifted. I don’t see any evidence to your claim.
- biotinker 4y agoThat's not true. The concept of free speech, and what is specifically allowed and disallowed by the First Amendment of the USA, are two different things. Not least which is that the latter applies to a small fraction of the world's population. Censorship of ideas by a private company is not a first amendment issue. It is a free speech issue.
