Jeri BS: The free-speech absolutist strikes (40) RE: BS: The free-speech absolutist strikes 28 Apr 22


We don't have laws against "hate speech" in the USA, so we'll see how it goes. Incitement is another matter.

More than "hate speech" which I would think is difficult to define. I worry about lies, AKA "fake news". Not the fake news that's called that because some right-wing loon doesn't like it, but the outright made-up things.

It used to be the liberal folks were the ones who argued FOR free speech, and now, they're the ones worried about what will happen if folks have free speech. I believe the main reason is that people used to be able to identify lies, and these days, they can't, or won't.
