Freedom is the most important right of all. It comes with distasteful elements. Freedom of speech means you will hear things you don't want to. It seems to me, the younger generations (I'm a very old Gen X) have never had to face opposition. Non competitive sports at school, not having to learn how to deal with insults because no one is allowed to offend anyone! Fucking grow a pair, stop living in an echo chamber and get dirty in the mud of life. FREEDOM #FreeRoss #FreeSamourai

Yeah but businesses have the right not to go out of business, and free speech is, by and large, very bad for business. It's extremely hard to be in favour of the right of individuals to near-total free speech in commercial domains and also the right of businesses to make a profit. You can be in favour of near-total free speech in a charity/NGO/expensively-manifested-thought-experiment domain, that's cool.

Personally I think the goal is to get close enough that it would cost more to censor that very dregs of speech than it would to allow it. To decrease the bar for people to host their own speech, and more importantly, for people to find it.
