The issue with censorship is that it becomes a slippery slope to the bottom.

Additionally, whether by mistake or design, what constitutes that which is to be censored is subjective to the viewer.

Blanket, government or platform enforced censorship is not the answer. Instead, it lays the foundations for a dystopian future where government and platform controls the narrative.

    Exactly! Sometimes I want to listen to viewpoints of those propagating "hate speech", or anything such that might be a candidate for censorship just to get a sense of how much there is support for such ideology and the arguments they are using to back their ideology so as to know what to say when countering it.
