It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

There is no public square online. It is all owned by entities



There is nowhere on the internet that is guaranteed to allow someone to say their piece without scrutiny. If someone who is a horrible person wanted to spout hate they could do so in a public place and the laws of our country would support them. The important thing is, in order to protect the speech that is informative, you must allow speech that is offencive. Because, there will always be someone offended by every single idea. I'm sure someone thinks the sky being blue is racist somewhere.

Up to a few years ago people said there were two genders. Someone stood up and said it is important to recognize people who do not believe this. Many people find this idea offensive. Regardless of how you feel about that speech, you need to defend the idea of someone being able to say it. Because, the thing you decide is important might be the next thing on the proverbial chopping block.
