All kinds of people want to censor speech, but they'll disagree on what's free speech and what isn't. That's why we need free speech
They'll aggressively monitor and censor each other, don't worry!
This doesn't even make any sense. The "controversy" is private companies enforcing content guidelines. Where on the internet is the US government actively suppressing speech?
Free speech absolutist!
Yeah that'll be a no from here.Edit regarding downvotes:
So you don't think there should be any limitations of free speech to protect kids?
How was protection of kids ever used to limit your freedom of speech?
Does that freedom of speech without protection of kids include child pornography? Get a grip!!!Edit2: You guys disgust me. I'm shocked that people here are so free speech absolutist.
Why are you here instead of on the thing formerly known as twitter, where Musk is protecting your freedom of speech for racism and bigotry.Edit 3: OK apparently we can't even agree that there are situations where limitations of free speech is necessary!!
Thank you what a nice community!!the british government literally tried to outlaw encrypting anything online, because "it could be CSAM".
the EU wanted to make chat history available to police, and they, again, tried to make it about CSAM.

OK that's idiotic, and I'm guessing it didn't go though, so your freedom of speech wasn't really compromised.
the EU wanted to make chat history available to police,
IDK about that, but it should require a warrant as a minimum, and in that case sounds OK to me.
Does that freedom of speech without protection of kids include child pornography?
I have zero idea why you think child pornography is linked to "freedom of speech," as child pornography is not a form of speech. Could you please elaborate?
this doesnt smell like absolutism to me.
and we know what happens when an empire like the us gets this kind of power.
i also have a feeling the nazis and other assorted scum will be fine here....
I'm not an anything absolutist.

Seems pretty absolutist to me if even anti terrorism and protection of kids, is against your free speech ideal.
Anti terrorism I agree may be used as an excuse to make limitations we don't really need. But protection of kids, I think for instance pedophilia, and that's non negotiable. There are situations where freedom of speech is triumphed by other considerations. Your post seem to not consider that by including even protection of kids, as not enough to make any limitations.
You're an idiot mate.
Thanks for the constructive criticism, I can see you are by far my superior. /s
So you don't think there should be any limitations of free speech to protect kids?
I'll engage with that one. Yes, there should be.
But no, "protecting children", or terrorism for that matter, should not be used as a pretext for nefarious power grabs.
