This line actually comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States , in which it was ruled that distributing pamphlets protesting the draft was not legal free speech.

So you agree that "harmful to society" is valid reasoning .. which justifies banning things like holocaust denial and incitement to racism?
