How does freedom of speech transform into a right to hear? Are there no age restrictions, for example, on access to certain entertainment, art, venues etc.?
For speech itself, I'm indeed of the opinion that there should be no restrictions to accessing it. That is not to say that there can't or shouldn't be age restrictions on access to specific locations, or activities (or to expression which is not speech).
For instance, if a speech is given at a bar, it's fine to keep me out if I'm underage. I should be allowed to access any recordings or transcripts of the speech, however.
Again, none of this is held as gospel, and I think reasonable people can disagree here.
