The arrest of Graham Linehan for his tweets constitutes a significant moment of overreach that shows the decline of free speech in Britain.

“And now we've got to this point where somebody like Graeme Lahan, who is a celebrity, who is celebrated quite rightly for his comedy, which is brilliant, now gets arrested for tweets.”

The primary issue on campuses is a refusal to accept the concept of free speech itself rather than just a disagreement over who is allowed to speak.

“there isn't a debate about who should speak on campuses there's a debate about whether free speech exists”

Tommy Robinson argues that current hate speech laws are selectively enforced and used by the state to silence political dissent rather than to address genuine hatred.

“It's like hate speech laws are not there to prevent hate. They're there to shut us up. And one level's being shut up and the other level get amplified opportunity to promote their hate and intolerance.”

Large social media platforms are acting as a cartel to limit free speech, effectively digitally depersoning individuals, which undermines fundamental rights.

“When these big tech companies all get together as a cartel to deprive you of your free speech rights, you have been depersoned. You've been digitally depersoned. And they're not just doing it on speech, they're also taking away your right to engage in payments, in transactions, to earn a living.”

While Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from the air is a welcome outcome, the federal government should not be involved in regulating or threatening broadcaster licenses based on their speech content.

“What these new restrictions will do, like you said, like reporters, they're not going to stop reporting because they can't walk around the halls. But like in totality, it slowly chips away at their media access and their ability to do their job”

The Pentagon's new policy requiring reporters to submit coverage for approval before publication is a clear violation of the First Amendment and an attempt to penalize journalism.

“It feels like this couldn't be a more obvious First Amendment violation.”

Society should move past the era of mob vigilante justice and cancel culture in favor of nuance and second chances for flawed individuals.

“I tend to think that the world is an incredibly complicated place where we need you. It's governed by laws and we can't have mob vigilante justice.”

Sneako contends that drawing lines around specific slurs while being lenient on other offensive comments is a sign of inconsistent and performative morality.

“you draw the line there and Jake I want you to hear this nonsense why do you draw the line at but not poor because calling people broke that's also that hurts people's feelings so why is where you draw the line”

Cuffem believes that using offensive language like slurs in games is acceptable as long as it is done as 'talk' between friends and not intended as hate speech.

“what I'm saying and what we I'm saying is we wasn't actually attacking the gays I think the difference I think what xcc is saying is that like if you talk tough or act tough in a game or something that that's like you're not like a thug in real life that was like the joke it wasn't because you were ”
