I'd love to hear your explanation of "free speech".
Did you actually read my comment before replying? I'm not a "free speech absolutist", I think they're bullshit, but I also don't think Meta should be the one who decides where that line is.
So Meta should allow all speech then? If they are not to be deciding where the line is?
I've already pretty clearly said that governments should regulate this, not Meta. How could you even interpret my comments to mean "allow everything"?
I'm guessing this bullshit line of questioning is an attempt to convince yourself that I'm the type of person you've already decided I am in your head, which is pretty fucking lame. Not everyone has to live in political extremes.
the government shouldn't regulate speech either. you're exactly the kind of person i pegged you to be.
