> Not true. Freedom of speech without SOME restriction cannot exist - unlimited freedom always leads to abuses of power and tyranny. Study some history. Our freedom ends where the freedom of our neighbours starts, so some limits absolutely must exist to defend our freedom.
Sorry but this is statist double think at its best.
Freedom is the absence of power and tyranny. You cannot abuse authority power in a free world, because there is no authority.
If there is authority, it isn't a free world.
Freedom doesn't lead to abuses of power and tyranny, bad humans do, always have.
Freedom of speech doesn't end where the freedom of speech of our neighbours start. Speech is information and information alone cannot take away other humans freedom, but what bad humans do with the information.
Therefore, limiting freedom of speech in the name of freedom is a dystopian precrime police/justice approach.
All of that said, lets be honest here, there are other reasons why Simplex doesn't go full freedom of speech #MainstreamCompatibility.
