Censorship

[devonin]

Censorship is ridiculous. There are no thoughts that should not be heard, and the concept of someone else deciding what's appropriate for me to hear is insulting.

Some censorship isn't about closing your ears, it's about closing someone else's mouth.

I am perfectly okay with racism being punishable by law as hate speech and other similar protective limits on speech.

I gues what it means is "Anybody should be allowed and able to say anything they want, and then we can decide once the words come out of their mouth, whether we want to punish them for it" and I do grant that there are certain things one can say in certain arenas that should not be protected as free speech.
