Not only should we not silence unpopular opinions, but we should also INSIST they have an opportunity to be voiced.

Agreed, honestly I love shredding folks posting FUD with facts. Not even fan boying really.. A lot of the people whining and screeching can't even get their rose tinted glasses off to see past them. XD
Absolutely. I can't believe free speech even has to be defended, but apparently it does. Crazy times we're in!

What, even on HIVE? :P
Hi @whatsup … You may like visiting Free Speech Community that I founded, here on Hive, where anyone is welcomed to post whatever they wish, in whatever way they choose😎
I'll check it out.
Please do… I think it's a community based upon an extremely important issue, which is constantly under attack these days worldwide.
There is no official moderating by me or an appointee; though I may act upon a spammer and certainly mute any child-porn type stuff.
Yes, #HIVE needs more #FreedomOfSpeech advocates!
Unfortunately, most people are inclined to believe that freedom of speech is for everyone except voices we despise.
This must change!

That's how it goes though.
That's one of the reasons why I think many are not interested in the idea that anyone can speak. Because at the end of the day, the so-called "deplatformed" voices prefer some other place like Parler, where their voices are the dominant opinions.
I don't think that is always the case, i.e. most are on #YouTube even if they are not the "dominant opinion".
And we do have people like @maxigan, @lukewearechange among others on #HIVE.
One issue I think is that #DTube forked away from #HIVE disrupting some of the users

If you don't think someone should be free to talk about something you think is horrific, than you don't really believe in free speech
Exactly 👍

I completely agree! We need to be civil to people even if they are saying something we don't agree with. We need to be able to handle having our opinions challenged. It's okay not to agree. It's not okay to not let people you don't agree with have their say.
