Didn't freedom of speech protect the civil rights movement more than if it weren't in the constitution? Just because bad people make use of this right, doesn't make it inherently bad. It's not concern trolling because we think you're overcorrecting, and any attempt to censor 4chan will lead to either "angering the wasps" or censorship of benign ideas.
Just know that I am arguing in good faith because I know that the people who decide what to censor will overcorrect, and I think that causes more harm than good.
This 100% well said.
