The concept of free speech predates the US constitution or even its government.

"We have to limit free speech or political opponent might limit free speech" is not a coherent solution to the paradox of tolerance.

>It can, however, make the choice to allow and promote hateful speech against others, and that's exactly what it's doing.

Should Internet communities be babysit into not hating things? I don't have anything against jews or transgender people, but should a post saying "I hate pedophiles" be banned because it's hateful against a sexuality?

>I make no claim against you, but this framing represents the insidiously successful repackaging of hate as an "equal right", which racists have used to mainstream hateful ideas that, at-scale, ultimately infringe on the rights of groups of people. This can include (has included) incitement to violence.

Would that include classist groups common on social media like reddit, where just recently users posted praises of Brian Thompson's murderer?

Moderately authoritarian speech.

Porn is not speech.
