Spare public safety issues like yelling fire in a crowded theater, I am against censorship of speech even that which is subjectively claimed to be hate speech.

Isn't yelling "white pride" considered a "public safety issue"?

(IFF) you draw the line at "public safety" (THEN) please explain your Quantifiable standard.

That being said, I think it is more profitable to know what people are truly made of by allowing them to express themselves rather than it be concealed by the censorious gatekeepers of society.

People need to understand the difference between FACT and OPINION.

This basic distinction dissolves the problems of "fake news" and "hate speech" and all types of scams.

Corporations like facebook and youtube are EDITORS. They can determine what content they approve of and what content they disapprove of. Content that is blocked from these outlets is not a matter of "free-speech". It's a matter of publisher discretion.

Think of of the biggest problems is the corporations and oppressive governments are scared. Scared that the people would think for themselves. Do they think we are not capable of critical thought or is it that they feeding us a false narrative? I believe generally it is the latter.

The mass-media corporations and the governments are afraid of people who understand the difference between FACT and OPINION.

Why don't they teach kids how to identify logical fallacies in grade-school?

Why don't they teach kids how do identify con-artists in grade-school?

Why don't they teach kids basic AXIOLOGY and how fractional-reserve-banking works in grade-school?

Because the mass-media corporations and the governments ARE CON-ARTISTS.

If they taught kids to identify CON-ARTISTS they'd be destroying themselves.
