We all know VP loves a good debate, even though it often tends to get heated.
In order to keep things as open as possible, I won't be giving any prompts
in the form of statements or questions. Instead, there will just be a
word or a concept for you to discuss. Depending on how this 
goes, this type of thread may become a regular feature.

Today's topic

Freedom of speech

Let's go!

Just to sprinkle some controversy here although I'm not paying attention: I'm not fully behind the idea of freedom of speech as it's clearly flawed and not working as intended.

Oh yeah, definitely. What does freedom of speech mean to you?

I guess it's, in theory, a good thing. Better than there being no room for debate for sure. Yet I can't help but feeling it would be better if some opinions that only hurt people in their day to day lives would never be expressed.

Perhaps not a shock as I'm leaning towards being slightly authoritarian in my general political opinion but alas.

Not even remotely controversial to me at least, since I very much agree.

I don't know where you're from, but in many countries there are hate crime laws that serve as a kind of counterweight to freedom of speech, what are your opinions on that?

Personally? don't use it much as how others might

I think yes u should be able to express yourself and your opinion, IF it is not hurtful and it constructive rather than degrading. Which i don't think the sentence really invites u to*.

I think that they are very important, but since it's very hard to get convicted for them (atleast where I live) I believe they might not be enough? On the other hand, maybe the liberals are right (lol). Maybe the existence of the debate, and everyones ability to call people out as idiots are a good climate for discussion. Maybe it results in lesser "one question parties" who only want to go against the system who might seem corrupt if there isn't freedom of speech like it is today. I don't know. I'm just a phonie.

Freedom of speech is legit one of those things that has gotten out of hand like the intended idea behind it was not like yes please do use the media platforms to discuss how emotionally devastating it was for you to discover that your favourite brand has stopped producing one of your favourite products because it wasn't popular enough to survive in the capitalistic business model

Also, I recently answered a survey which will be used for a survey and the data will be stored for 50 years and they'll have follow up surveys to see how our opinions regarding the topic (freedom of speech) evolve over time (allegedly) and yeah.. 
They had modified a legit shared thing from a discussion to being about sami people and the thing stated there was just so incredibly wild and horrible I was like yeah freedom of speech is not it if it's okay saying things like that. 
I've read the actual statement too and it's just.. bad on all possible levels.
