Free speech is not negotiable, but it also doesn't need our protection. The people destroyed due to censorship need our protection. Fighting for free speech just makes that job easier. Speech will always get out. It is inevitable. This fact is easily proven by the knowledge of the most totalitarian and repressive regimes in history are known, because they could not contain information. In fact, the very act of censoring speech increases it's value. This is due to the nature of black markets. In other words, the more something is illegal or controlled, then the more precious it becomes. Systems will always evolve the instruments of their own destruction, so any attempt to restrict a thing makes that thing more abundant do to the increase in value. No. I don't fight for free speech because speech needs to be protected. Rather, I fight for free speech because people need protection from morons in power who's first inclination to retain deminishing power is to oppress the weak, vulnerable, and deplorables by means of censorship and demonization.
