Banned On Post That Says We have Free Speech For Words To No One — watch the full video below, then keep reading for the key takeaways.
I got banned on Twitter, so this turned into the free speech video I was planning to make later anyway. I’m what you’d call a free speech absolutist, but with a twist: words do carry power, yet that power doesn’t start when they’re spoken — it starts with the intent in the mind or heart. Banning words, even hate speech, doesn’t remove that intent; it just takes power away from the individual. As an author, freedom with words is part of what the job is.
