A nasty liberal type like this will hear that free speech is being protected, so they roll out all their hate speech because they think it's the same thing. And they try to get us to think that free speech and hate speech are the same thing.
Let's get this straight.
Free speech is to improve the government and society without getting killed for speaking out. Hate speech is just hating on someone and inciting others to hate and harm them. The idea that the First Amendment is to protect the nastiest most hateful language you can come up with is a liberal idea. Reject it.
No. I embrace it. Hate speech IS protected by the first Amendment. The second you try to regulate that, you set a precedent to label any speech you don't like as "hate speech". The religious fundamentalists did exactly this when they had control of the culture. They implemented "blasphemy" as a way to prevent sinners from expressing themselves honestly.
What is NOT protected, however is defamation. The focus should NOT be to control speech, but rather to make defamation and harassment suits more commonplace. Targeted harassment will NEVER be "free speech", but "hate speech" is too broad of a precedent to set. Who's standards do we use to determine "hate speech"? Exactly, best to leave it be.

That's exactly what free speech is. It's being able to tell the government to go fuck themselves without getting arrested. If you were to tell a king to go fuck himself, you'd probably get thrown in prison for saying mean things.
You talk like you've never read the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. Nowhere in our founding documents or the commentary surrounding them did our founders defend profanity and obscenity. You sound vaccinated.
Naw. This place is a cesspool of "anything goes as long as it's not illegal," so such a restriction wouldn't be appropriate here.
But it also guarantees no one of any reputation or import would allow themselves to be seen here, which could be the ultimate strategy of the moderators. So have fun being as nasty as you wanna be. This place is built for it.
Don't overlook the furry porn, explicit tyranny porn and rape shock porn on this platform. Throw in some Nazi and obscenely racist material for flavoring, and you've got Trump supporters' favorite flagship, the dot wins.
I think people don't really understand the difference between Free Speech and Censorship.
Online services such as Twitter and Facebook have Terms of Service contracts you must agree to in order to use them. So there's really no "Freedom of Speech" on such platforms.
There is a huge number of people who believe that Free Speech means that they can say/write anything they want anywhere they want, and that's simply not true.

There's no such thing as "hate speech." That's validating the left's idea that simple words can do harm.
Are laws against defamation and libel constitutional?

I'm a proud pureblood. Maybe we should make all "profane" speech illegal here, if that would make your feelings unhurt.

Our founding fathers didn't risk their own lives and the lives of their families so that assholes everywhere can be total assholes.
They did indeed risk everything so we can do what we want as long as it doesn't impede others.
I agree. I can just imagine what they would think if they could see what people today were doing and claiming it as "Freedom of Speech".
