should freedom of speech have limitations?

[Hassan mahat]

personally, i believe in full freedom of speech. i believe everyone should make fun of anything they want and not be killed or arrested. consequences such as firing from a job is a warranted response. so freedom of speech cannot protect individuals from that. what do you guys think ?

 

[Villainess]

I "thing" that it depends on the context.

 

[heavyrealm]

A real nigga wouldnt limit free speech but make the guys who speak against his views be viewed as the enemy or idiots

there is no context in freedom of speech. who decides the context?

mhmm.

There are already limitations in some countries you can go to prison for denying the holocaust while in other countries it’s illegal to be racist.

With that logic, treason contradicts the American law. Remember, the first amendment only applies when it benefits them.

those are the ones impacted by the nazis tho. for instance you cannot do such stupid staff.

It is my constitutional right to say anything I want even if its dumb, and it should be the same for others.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

treason will mean sabotaging the whole state, what does it got to do with freedom of speech?

because germany has dark history with the jews. their leader killed 6 million. you cannot pull out such stupid stuff like that when the camps are still standing.

People still claim slavery wasn’t that bad and it lasted way longer and killed way more people then the holocaust. Why does this only apply to the pain the Jews went through?

American laws don't work like that. The president could simply say "I like china" and he'd get booted.

slavery and any atrocity committed should be remembered all the time

 

[Octavian]

yes if it goes against the law

But you can’t censor people.

 

[Revolutionary]

Yes, any form of hate speech should not be tolerated. Letting people with terrible views should not happen and we should not give them a voice/platform. The same reason why social media sites have terms and conditions and anything that counts hate speech is censored. They may go overboard at some points but they are in the right direction
