I’m talking about things such as restricting hate speech, discrimination etc. Like we did with rule 7.

    No. I do not owe you access to my platform. Just like I can kick out anyone I don’t like from my living room, I can prevent you from saying shit I don’t like I’n my living room.

    Now if I were the Govermen, that’s a different story and you have a right to free speech (doesn’t mean there can be no consequences at all) and I can’t prohibit you from saying something I disaprove off.

    I think I personally rather have people exposed for the shit they say rather than silencing them, depending on where they do it (I don’t have to subject kids to bigotry just to expose how dumb the bigots are).

    Add to that the Tolerance paradox and you have a nice messy system almost no one seems to understand.
