"Here's what I don't understand about "slippery slope" arguments about free speech.
The idea that you are owed a specific platform for your speech has never been what "free speech" is. That's a positive right and it doesn't exist. Prior to the internet, newspapers could refuse to print your ads and your letters and none of that violated your right to free speech. If you wrote a book or a magazine and stores refused to sell it, none of that violated your right to free speech. So now people have come up with the "principle of free speech" which has morphed from "the government shouldn't censor you" to "no one should censor you" to "you are owed a platform" to "any interference with spreading your message is wrong". But that has never been the case. People have always been marginalized, excoriated, hated, and shunned for holding views that most other people don't like. When you agree with the marginalized group it feels like oppression, and when you disagree it feels like it's the right thing for society. And that's the rub, the "principle of free speech" goes both ways, it's not a shield around your speech, it means that nobody has to listen to you, nobody has to help you spread your message, nobody has to like you, nobody has to think what you say is worthy of being said, nobody has to refrain from shouting you down, and nobody has to think that anyone else should hear you. Nowadays if you say something objectionable on TV and advertisers start to drop you because people complained, the "free speech warriors" come out talking about censorship and slippery slopes. It's not censorship, it's the "principle of free speech" at work." https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/c...hite/?sort=top |

Defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.
