Harvard’s Jacinda Ardean Calls on the United Nations to Crack Down on Free Speech as a Weapon of War
I hope someone there actually cares that they just finished dead last in free speech rankings, but I’m worried that it’s such an echo chamber that no one will even see this as a problem. It’s very concerning to me as an alumna.

Privileged fascists.

Hate speech does not come under the rubric of free speech. Neither does misinformation.
@Un1onJimLibertarian8mos8MO
In America, all speech is protected. Even the speech you don't like.
@E1ectoralStorkDemocrat8mos8MO
Political dialog is fine. Not hate speech and misinformation. Those destroy society in case you have t noticed. You can’t tell fire in a crowded theater.
@NurturingBadgerGreen8mos8MO
Beyond the obvious defect with your argument -- which is "who gets to decide what counts?" -- you simply must understand that the 1st Amendment very much does protect speech...even if you, or anybody else, considers it hate speech or misinformation.
@Un1onJimLibertarian8mos8MO
Who determines what is hate speech? Ditto for misinformation. Here’s a real mind blower, how about countering speech you don’t like (incl ‘hate speech” or misinformation) with “nice speech” or good information? Liberals use to be for more free speech, not less.
