      Depends whether you see the essence of free speech as rooted in literal speech or in the expression of ideas/opinions/worldviews. https://twitter.com/ortoiseortoise/status/898863279010754561 …

      I don't think anyone is arguing that nothing done in words can ever be punished coz there is no underlying principle there.

      You'd have to defend the verbal commission of crimes, doctors who break patient confidentiality, people who leak national secrets.

      Nobody seems to be arguing for the right to do all these things & more. It really isn't what the defence of free speech is all about.

      You don't have to reply but I was wondering, do you have any thoughts on that girl who coerced her mentally ill BF to kill himself?

      I do but not within the framework of free speech in the sense of free exchange of ideas. Severe psychological abuse of a vulnerable person

          is a very complicated issue with many shades of grey and we can argue about where the line is for where it should be prosecutable.

          :) I think we need to separate out the free expression of ideas from anything else that can be done in words & needs evaluating separately

          Right, because how about slander or defamation? I mean, we have laws about that. Because they can actually ruin someone's life.

          Yes, I could have damaged an actress' life coz I helped deliver her baby & knew who the father was. Confidentiality shld be enforceable,
