First there’s that XKCD comic that people trot out to justify just about any censorship. It wrongly conflates the First Amendment, which is the legal framework for free speech in the US, & free speech generally. It also doesn’t even get the 1A right! 2/14
“Free speech was invented under the false notion that speech & violence are distinct. Now we know some speech is violence.” Speech = violence is one of the oldest ideas in the world. Free speech was invented so people could sort things out without resorting to violence. 3/14
