The #ParadoxOfTolerance shows that unlimited tolerance for intolerance is untenable. But it doesn't say what the limits should be.

I often find this brought up in response to those who oppose speech restrictions, as a way to justify such restrictions. The paradox can help show why some restrictions may be justified, but it doesn't say what they should be or whether they are justified at all in a given situation.

This paradox (or any paradox) should be the beginning, not the end, of discussion.
