I never said it’s OK for the government to control speech undemocratically like happens in China, maybe I didn’t explain myself well.

My point is: I would prefer the government decides democratically what can and cannot be told. And I am fine with a very liberal standard, in which almost everything can be told.

I am pretty much a free speech absolutist. Everything can be said in my opinion.

But, if limits are imposed by a democratic government they will at least follow some democratic standard. Limits imposed by private companies will only follow the money!

I get your point. I just think it’s completely wrong.

The moment government is allowed to say what is not “protected speech” it will be abused.

Only one viewpoint will be allowed. Voting will be meaningless when only one side can get its message out.
