There are many instances where you have to choose between suppressing one person’s speech or another’s. There is no true neutral when it comes to free speech. It’s literally impossible to protect everyone’s speech equally because some forms of speech tend to dampen other forms of speech. For example, you cannot have white supremacists calling for the extermination of other races on the same platform as ‘Black Lives matter’.

So there comes a point where you have to choose who’s side you’re on.
