Book burning is the opposite of free speech.

So is the great firewall of China.

Russia chills speech with assassinations.

Nearly all your examples are proving the opposite of your point.

My examples are not your examples, and your statements at best holds true for yours only.

The point is that merely thinking saying free speech should be free is not enough. As you well illustrate, the debate on what exactly free speech is means we need to define what falls outside of it very clearly.

Your examples were the CCP, Nazi and Russia. So were mine.

I gave examples of some of their strategies, on which I base my conclusions. Your examples are different, and therefore support different conclusions.
