Society as a whole, via the sort of discourse that we're having now.
Freedom of speech comes with other people having the right/responsibility to also have freedom of association and reject the sort of speech that is found to be intolerable.
Note that in this specific instance, it is not a case of legally unavailable speech, but a case which is more likely to result in ostracism of those who use it - which is the system working as intended.
- wonderwonder 4y ago100% agree that objectionable speech should not be free of social ramifications. My only concern is with government restrictions on speech.
