Okay, what about if I decide that your post leans too socialist, and contains dangerous anti-freedom misinformation? Would you be open to being silenced then? If the boot is on the other foot, do you have an issue? To make it more plain: if the other team gets into power, and starts using these laws against you, would you then start to see the benefit in having a basic standard of human right to speak freely?

What laws? If anything, I'm arguing against laws regulating speech.

I agree that we shouldn’t legislate this. But I think people should be aware that limiting someone’s ability to participate in society on political grounds, without trial, is not a great step forward for humanity. Especially when these decisions are made based on profit not truth.
