Speech is Sacred: Censorship Equals Control
Freedom of speech is an inherent right, viewed as a divine gift that begins at birth. Government attempts to restrict this right represent a profound form of control, akin to physical violence, illustrated by the image of someone silencing you. Censorship is violent as it suppresses expression and can be symbolically compared to gags used in oppressive environments like prisons or concentration camps. The concepts of misinformation and hate speech are problematic as they rely on subjective definitions, highlighting the danger of placing censorship power in the hands of potentially biased individuals. A fair system must withstand scrutiny by testing its rules against its most adversarial users, exemplified by hypothetically allowing a polarizing figure like Donald Trump to define misinformation. This framework establishes a crucial boundary against the erosion of free speech.
