Yes as long as it does not threaten violence or democracy
@8M7TL4C4yrs4Y
Should be free to say, but there should be consequences for speech that suggests terror/danger. Those who use hate speech depending on their use and content should potentially need mandatory education
@9RQNPMR7mos7MO
It depends on the objective of the speech. If it is to increase hate and division in society then yes. If it just expressing an opinion then no.
@9JWTCPT1yr1Y
Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence... You shouldnt have to see it if you don't want to. Opt out options
@mrmustacheo4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if those who are exposed to it consent to viewing it
@9LXDZSK 1wk1W
Yes. The government CANNOT have the right to infringe on our ability to speak. Unequivocally. No exceptions. No authority figure can be trusted to define hate speech.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
No, hate speech is harmful and discriminatory and should not be protected free speech should cover ability to criticize the government that's it.
@B2P2T622wks2W
No and increase penalties for hate speech. Also freedom of speech laws should protect you from criticizing the government
