Imagine thinking that censorship of fascism = fascism. Hate speech isn’t free speech.

United Nations Secretary, General António Guterres notes:

“Addressing hate speech does not mean limiting or prohibiting freedom of speech. It means keeping hate speech from escalating into something more dangerous, particularly incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence, which is prohibited under international law.”

@markwyner So when Gov. DeSantis of Florida prohibits the teaching of CRT because it leads to "discrimination, hostility, and violence" is he right? Any time you offer the government the power to identify prohibited speech there will be some one in government ready to prohibit your speech.
