Why do people think it is OK to censor freedom of speech?

your speech threatens what they perceive to be the truth lol .. therefore its their 'duty' to make sure you dont tell anyone else that .. its sickening lol ..

Liberal version of "free speech" is just liberal speech.

Easy to see with the so called "Mainstream unbiased NEWS". aka liberal media.

Several years ago, I saw on TV a young woman who made an impassioned plea for modifying the first amendment in order to allow for the outlawing of "hate speech". But who would decide what constitutes hate speech and what needs to be outlawed? I would be very much against such a move. 

I'm not sure what you mean, specifically, since a lot of people misinterpret what "freedom of speech" actually means.

If you mean Trump trying to ban TikTok just because people use it to (rightfully) trash talk him, then that is absolutely screwed up and I have no idea how anyone would go along with it. Oh wait, no, it's because they've been brainwashed into his cult of personality and indoctrinated into following every single thing he does without seeing any issue whatsoever. This country has a horrible propaganda problem.

However on the other side of the spectrum, bigots often tend to scream "but my freedom of speech" whenever they receive backlash for being awful people. Freedom of speech applies to the government limiting its citizens, not a community website banning someone for being a s​hitter. And especially not simply from other users calling them out for it.

They didn't understand Orwell's 1984 or they didn't read it.

The rights laid out in the Bill of Rights actually ALL have restrictions and conditions placed upon them.

It seems your notion of the freedom of speech is unlimited, it is not, never has been.

Only liberals think that's ok
