    The town square in real life has real life consequences. There is a difference between calling someone an idiot, and harassing someone else. Harassing someone because of disability, skin color, sexual orientation or gender. In the town square real life you get a fine. Or if you go around stalking someone else , bullying them and making their life miserable you get a large fine or go to jail. If we are talking about free speech, we should also talk about the real life consequences of the real life town square. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

      2. I'm sick of leftists and those who lick the bumholes of power use the line "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences". If the consequence for having the wrong opinion is losing your job, being blacklisted, having accounts shut down, being denied a passport, being jailed etc. then you don't have free speech at all. Harrassment, threats, libel and suchlike are covered by law. Opinions absolutely should be free from consequence and they're currently not.

    Here's what I think : Elon Musk is the perfect name for the protagonist in a dystopian novel.

    Haven't watched the video yet, but one can assume there is going to be bias against Musk due solely to the fact that the publication deliberately chose about as distasteful and unflattering a photo of Musk as possible while still maintaining a bare minimum level of neutral journalism (aka plausible deniability)
    Guess I will find out in 5 minutes when the video is finished if I was correct, or if this weed is way too strong

      That would be a great thing to do: end youtube. To do so, he have to kick Google out of business which at least for now can be hard to do even for Elon. I know he is working to disrupt Google's dangerous AI research. Who knows, maybe that will be his next move. If so. I wish him best luck. Elon is one of a kind.

    Freedom of speech should be all speech, even hate speech. If you don’t like what people post then you can either respond to them or just move on. People have been hating each other for millennia. They’re not gonna stop because you “moderate” them.

      In order for free speech to be useful, it must have its limits. Things that directly lead to harm must not be allowed, otherwise we will live in an anarchy.
