I posted more about this elsewhere in the thread, but I wonder how much of the poll response isn't about wanting to silence opposing views, but about perceptions of the motivations and likely quality of speakers with those views. Maybe it's more about perceived likelihood that the speaker's just going to be a professional IRL troll. I wonder if adding context that reduced the perceived likelihood of that, while leaving those statements intact, would change the results significantly.
- Kye 3y agoI would not be surprised if a blind taste test of sorts were devised to compare the past free speech people long for to the free speech of people pushing intellectualized bigotry, the classics would win every time. >> "I wonder if adding context that reduced the perceived likelihood of that, while leaving those statements intact, would change the results significantly." I've taken a lot of research surveys that play with wording and context to test bias. It's interesting to look back at my own answers to see how framing around the questions affects the response.
