    Another comment explained it pretty nicely:

    But you can’t have [a platform with absolute free speech] while allowing for hate speech either because hate speech silences the voices of its target.

    It’s basically the tolerance paradox but with free speech.

      Hate speech doesn’t silence non hate speech.
