@stux I feel many ppl mistake this legendary "freedom of speech" for "freedom to bitch."And then they can't shut up cuz the sense of entitlement and loss aversion hit very very hard. Fear is the strongest motivator.

@stux Also, it's really sensible to limit freedom of speech and punish people who use their voice to hurt others (promoting violence or causing panic).Nazi propaganda cannot be protected by free speech laws.

@stux In the west we pretty much rely in J S Mill for our definition of free speech: "If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." [On Liberty]That comes with a proviso of "professing and discussing" In which case free speech refers to a transaction - a flow and testing of ideas.

@stux I worry about who gets to say what is "good speech" and "bad speech"? I mean within the law of the land of course. We have hate speech laws for a reason. Getting booted from a platform is fine if the the platform clearly and consistently states and applies the rules (this is hard, as we know!). If the rules simply follow what a the mob of the day deem is good vs bad then this is troubling. This is how we end up with echo chambers. None of this is easy...

@stux this is/was my ‘go to’ xkcd whenever some idiot yelled free speech. Freedom of Speech does not mean freedom from consequences.The other one was 1150 which was about Instagram but works for most types of hosting/media.

@stux For my Finnish followers: same goes for Finland even though our legal system is very different from that of the US. Constitutional right to free speech means freedom from censorship. It does NOT mean right to say anything without any consequences.

@stux I don't love it. I think it lets us of the hook. In letter, yes, free speech as enshrined by the 1st amendment protects us from the US federal government. But what does free speech look like (in spirit) in our other communities and groups? Can a family have free speech? (You can tell your parents a hard truth without them cutting you off?) Can a friendship have free speech? Can a workplace? What does it mean to believe in free speech day to day?

@stux Best part to me remains the hover:"I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express."

@stux It's true, people abuse their speech every single time! I mean, there are people who literally give death threats because a new video game got delayed. On the other hand, people do this to get their "lovely" attention. Remember, free speech is a good thing but, being an idiot is just foolish!

@stux there should be no law that hinders free speech from the government, but private companies make their own laws, and take the government suggestions into account. That's how the hacked Hunter laptop intel got suppressed somehow. That's undemocratic. We should know as private person Hunter has mony to buy hookers and crack. Any gangsta rapper would say he qualified

@stux Maybe this cartoon will boil thing down for all the knuckle draggers who cry “free speech” when getting banned on SM for spewing lies and hate. But who are we kidding? They are brainwashed cultists. It may take a generation or two to rinse the traitors out of our democracy. We STILL have mouth breathers who fly the confederate flag & wish the south won & kept slaves. This is how damaging MAGA and Trump cult has been to our country. The orange stain will be hard to wash off.
