> Very few people can agree what limits speech has.

100% of countries have free speech limits though... even the US

"Free speech" as free speech absolutists think of it doesn't exist anywhere in the known universe

Why are you restating the comment you're replying to?

I'm not restating it, merely completing it, I'll rephrase it for you: nobody can agree on what the limits should be BUT everybody agrees there should be limits

even Elon Musk (praised be the world loudest free speech absolutist) bans "cis-gender" on his personal blog, Xitter.

apparently there's a screenshot out there of some Nazi tweeting "gas the Jews because they (some stupid Nazi reason)" and a reply saying "cisgender" and I'm sure you can guess which one has a tag under it saying it's been hidden from other people.

it's his personal blog, that's what people don't understand. he paid £40bn for it, he should be allowed to publish and support what he wants! what I don't understand is why others get offended when I call him a pathetic loser.
