Free speech absolutists believe that any limitation on political speech is veering into dangerous territory.
They believe that restricting free speech in any way, including curbing insulting or factually incorrect speech, means assigning gatekeepers who decide what can and cannot be expressed in public.
This process is littered with hazards – it’s ripe for abuse, there’s no clear consensus on who would be qualified to determine this
I think restricting any kind of speech leads down a slippery slope where free speech is not treated as a right, but instead as something with conditions.
Who decides what should be allowed and what shouldn't be. Its arbitrary and infringes on the rights of individuals.
