What is your view on free speech?

To see where MyBroadband’s members fit in, we will run a series of questions to see whether you are left or right. It will be great if you can vote in these questions.

 

[RedViking]

There should be no limits to free speech as long as there are an equal acceptance of consequences.

 

[Quicks]

Africa depends on your skin colour.

 

[Bliksis]

There isn't much of that going around.

 

[Lupus]

Everyone wants it, until they realise everyone doesn't share the same thoughts

 

[Brian_G]

All speech should be free, except when it calls for violence.

As it stands, this is already (supposedly) the case. It is widely illegal to incite violence.
And so, that's my poll answer.

Do I like hate speech, even some of it? No, none of it, but even haters have a right to be heard.
Do we need to wrap society in cottonwool? Absolutely not, look what Snowflake concepts have already done the last few years.

For me: "Ek sê wat ek f'kken wil."
For the rest of you: " 'n Stil bek is 'n heel bek."

The most important type of free speech to allow is that which you hate hearing the most. (Got this quote off some prof on the Internet and it makes the most sense to me, even though I dont like it).

This does not mean you cant block idiots on the Internet. It means the government should not be getting involved with what you want to say/express.

I do draw the line at calls for violence.
