  • Summary

  • There is a lot of talk about freedom of speech lately.

    What are you allowed to say, who are you allowed to say it to, can you get in trouble for it if you use hate speech for example? Would censorship be bad in that case and unconstitutional or would it be acceptable?

    But who gets to decide what is it acceptable to say and what isn't? If answers were straight forward we wouldn't be having this discussion, but it seems that it is much more nuanced than we think.

    We need to remember that under the 1st Amendment not all free speech is equal. It is created to protect you from the government and allows you to critique it, but it doesn't protect you from being banned on Twitter for example, in Trump's case, or your employer firing you because of something that you've said.
