Hate speech today is amplified by social networks that had been non-existent 20 years ago.

I would like to see what happens to your "free speech beliefs and how they don't affect you" if you happened to accidentally say something wrong on a video and then be bullied by thousands of nutties on the internet, including doxxing and swatting you on a regular basis.

Another comment supporting pain and suffering for the people they disagree with. "You are wrong that free speech does not have consequences" is a common anti-free-speech strawman, a dishonest tactic, and is not even remotely what I said

That's what I said though not you, haven't I?

Which non-abstract pain and suffering do you mean?
