> My opinion is that freedom of speech must be absolute, despite all the issues and shortcomings coming with it. You must be able to speak, write, draw anything you like, without any limits. This would make all libel and defamation permissible. This would make any type of business fraud permissible. This would make it permissible to lie and fabricate documentation in order to target vulnerable populations for theft and fraud. This would make identity impersonation (including of, say, law enforcement, medical, legal, or engineering professionals) permissible. This would make it permissible to fabricate evidence for use in legal cases. This would make it permissible to lie or fabricate evidence for sexual partners regarding STIs or contraceptive use. Other than free speech zealots, you're not going to get anyone on board with rebuilding society so that we have to preemptively guard against all of these things, and have no recourse against bad actors.
