It is extremely dangerous to our democracy to have unlimited free speech.

1. Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences.

2. Corporations aren't the government, so the first amendment doesn't apply.

3. Haven't your heard of "fire in a movie theater"?

4. Hate speech IS violence.

5. Reading disinformation from un-check-marked, non-fact-checked sources is anti scientific. Since all scientists have check marks, we should only listen to check marks.

6. Do you really want to be disturbed by Plumpdfth tweets from his prison cell?

Before you respond in anger, first consider that:

1. You are a bigot

2. It isn't my job to educate you

3. Venmo me for my labor

Posts like these are dangerous because there's simply not enough people that realize you're being facetious.

"dripping with sarcasm" in audible speech works fine, in text, not so much

My deadpan delivery always gets me here. I can't use it with sarcasm.

I think plenty of people realized, and that's why it's [flagged].

This post is gonna be a good litmus test to see how many people read this comment to the end before they start attacking their keyboards

I'd be fine just getting the minute back of my life that I spent reading it. I don't think that reading off a list of contemptuous claims and insults is in any way productive, even when they are intended as satire. Are we not divided enough?

This is probably the first based HN post, ever? And of course it is flagged to death.

Might want to include a /s or smiley something, Poe's law and all.

Almost had me.

Did you read the article?

>> Censored Planet, however, uncovered that ISPs in Norway are imposing what the study calls “extremely aggressive” blocking across a broader range of content, including human rights websites like Human Rights Watch and online dating sites like Match.com.

Downvoting off-topic.

dang I would like to see posts like this effect bans, there’s simply no value here and little chance of redemption for someone who writes something like this

> bans

Ironic given the context

> redemption

I'm actually in the confession booth right now, so consider my sins redeemed!

In seriousness, what do you find so horrible about this post? I thought it was fun.
