After reading this article I’m starting to realize just what a rare and beautiful thing free speech is. I was also surprised to see speech limited in this way in countries I thought of as free. As hurtful and damaging as hate speech may be, I do feel it should be protected. Those people on the fringes, testing the boundaries, are the ones are demonstrating for us — reminding us just how free we really are. At least, that’s the way I look at it.
