Almost all of your points are ridiculously wrong and some sound like a parody of Orwell. Here, just concerning no 3: There are different mechanisms by which speech is regulated. It's well accepted that you can be held responsible for your speech if it's illegal (i.e. defamation or the "FIRE!"-yelling classic). This is different from censorship in that speech is regulated after it's published, not before. It's also a widely-held misconception that life is more important than anything. Quick thought experiment: - Current estimates are that costs about 38,000$ to save a life for the most efficient NGOs. - Say the US presidential election costs about 5 billion. => Should we cancel the election or let those 125,000 people die? |
