"Suppression of ideas" is a grey area? I have no words.

I should have said speech instead of ideas. I think it’s clear from what I wrote what I was getting at. All societies regulate speech. I don’t know anyone who thinks speech should never be regulated.

If speeches are regulated to this extent then it hampers society from discovering others experiences and learning from them.
