    Found the market liberal.

    You ban stuff not because it is bad and you want something better. You ban stuff that is so bad that is actually harmful.

      As with hate speech, the harm needs to be quantifiable. “I don’t like that people are sharing ideas and opinions that I personally disagree with” doesn’t cut it.

      The price of freedom of speech is needing to hear things that make you uncomfortable every now and again. Deciding what people can and can’t write on the internet is a slippery slope.
