Foot soldiers in the war against individual freedom
the question I always ask in discussions about free speech vs hate speech or mis/dis information and even global warming is 'who decides?'
who decides what the ideal temperature is, who decides what is hate speech or mis/dis information, why? are there penalties for mis speaking? who's enforcing it and how?
It's usually heavy handed and governmental, and I'm too much of a libertarian to accept that.
