What types of speech should be banned?

[Sagittarius83]

If any, in your opinion.

 

[Jack]

None.

 

[Trumpet]

Right wing hate, and bigotry.

If any, in your opinion.

You might want to be more specific. Banned by who? The government? A private corporation that wishes to present a certain image? A church? A family? A private school? A public school?

 

[Commander Dutch]

If any, in your opinion.

Threats or incitement to harm others. That's inline with falsely yelling "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater to induce panic and harm other others with a stampede.

A good point. I presumed government since most businesses and forums are allowed to control speech within their areas.

Right wing hate, and bigotry.

Why do the LW haters and bigots get a pass?

You are right, I should rephrase that, ALL hate speech and bigotry that infringes on another person or group's rights should not be considered free speech.

I can't really give an opinion on the OP though without that information. As we've all seen, the butthurt Qonservatards have been crying for months since their glorious glowing orange ex-IMPOTUSx2 was deplatformed by Twitter and FB. They somehow believe that this is censorship. It is not.

 

[Phantasmal]

Slander and libel.

Agreed. It's both divisive and detrimental to our Republic.

They do whine a lot. Almost as much as the Democrats whined about Hillary. LOL

God, I love America so much!

[BidenPresident]

If any, in your opinion.

what is the problem?

 

[Hawkeye10]

What types of speech should be banned?

None of course, what is this trick question all about?

Are we separating the educated and the not educated?

 

[Jade Dragon]

If any, in your opinion.

Troll speech bans would be nice.

 

[Sagittarius83]

The government

Actually they aren't banned per se. People are not free from consequences.

 

[Sagittarius83]

I don’t understand the implication that this is a trick question. It seems to me that more and more people are becoming comfortable banning speech that merely offends them.
