I firmly believe freedom of speech should be absolute.
The only people who like that are Fascists, because it means they get to be heard. Nobody else is out there saying stuff that needs absolute freedom of speech. Fascists will abuse the rope you've given them until they can hang you with it, and then it's no speech but their speech because everyone else is dead.
Speech is the most powerful weapon humans have. Of COURSE you need to control it because without controlling it, that is how everyone loses it. Would you rather some people have to shut up, or people are dead? Because that's literally what we're talking about here.
