minus-squareDeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoYep, this is where people frequently mistake censorship for outlawing certain behaviours. Someone can stand on a street corner and shout all day about how they hate specific races, how they feel they’re a blight on society, etc. Distasteful shit, for sure, but people can walk away, ignore them. That’s what freedom of speech is, and it should absolutely be protected. When those people cross the line into acting on those things - harassment, intimidation, assault, worse - that’s a crime that should be prosecuted.
