It is not. You’re used to countries with strong law and order. Countries where this doesn’t exist, free speech often leads to devastating results.

It absolutely works. There’s a reason Nazi propaganda is banned in Germany.

Edit: Before everyone just points to communist states as what happens when you have censorship, you also need to acknowledge the extreme violence that happens when speech is unrestricted in every case. For example Rohingya genocide was fueled by unrestricted “opinions” on the internet. https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-...

Besides, some form of restrictions on speech absolutely exist everywhere in the world. People look at censorship as either complete freedom or Soviet Russia, but in reality middle ground does exist.
