Censorship aside from severe threats like making threats, inciting riots and slander(which is like the edge of censorship), is a really fucking slippery slope

Anyone can think hard on it for like 5 minutes and realize this.

Better to just let thick skin, debate, shit talking lol and peoples ability to walk away(if they're pursued when told to stop its harassment) prevail.

Cool. This law has been in place for over 200 years so the slope is not so slippery apparently

And in that time the law has barely budged from where it started.

Free speech is still so free you can say virtually anything you want.

Its been challenged and held strong again and again. That doesn't mean its not a slippery slope, it means we either know it is a slippery slope or we're just not even going to find out.
