A site called 4chan did this and it just became a platform of child porn, racism, and racist conspiracy theories. Twitter now is just missing the child porn part as of right now.
Freedom of speech is imperative for our freedom. Period.
Under the old management with Jack Dorsey Twitter had tons of child porn dude and child grooming, especially from the left and the LGBT movements with disgusting pedo cr@p. That was one of the first things that was vacuum cleaned from the platform when Elon Musk took over Twitter.
But in all western countries there is boundaries and if you do illegal activities then common law surpass freedom of speech. You should be allowed to talk about anything - that is the whole point. You may not agree with it, but then you have the right also to ignore it. But that is also the point. To be able to speak freely without having fear of being persecuted for something you said or might have said.
If you censor people and free speech then you enter a very dangerous territory and authoritarian rule. Freedom of speech is the engine oil that spurs debate, questioning, ideas of both good and bad and enables people to be free. If that is removed well than, that is a very sad day.
Our forefathers have fought for our freedom for over a thousand years starting with
Magna Carta and latest in WW2 and should not be easily be taken away from us. Remember that our European forefathers fled to North America for exactly those reasons 250 years ago from tyranny and funded USA because people was living in authoritarian societies ruled by kings and queens that did not allow people to think and speak freely. People lived in miserable conditions as slaves under their rule and the
feudal system where your lord owned you. Not to mention people where dirt poor and much more other miserable reasons.... The very right to personal privacy and freedom speech is the very ground pillars to a free abundant society and a thriving civilization. Take that away and we will be slaves again to nobility and ultra rich people.
Like the founders said and highlights very well the importance of this:
and to those that says "I have nothing to hide so I do not care". (
Which is just bullsheite and always makes my blood boil when I hear these arrogant illiterate muppets say this...).
I usually respond with something like this:
Ok, then well let me install cameras and microphones on your toilet then so we can monitor and watch while take huge dumb, or fapping on the toilet (
and live stream it too), since you don't mind that then?
Oh, you do mind.. Right!
Suddenly you do have something you do want to hide and want privacy...
