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?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

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.

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.

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.
