One reason why I went to that twitter feed was to find more context to the quote. I can't find any. Acknowledging that freedom means freedom to say false things doesn't necessarily mean we shouldn't have freedom of speech.
Right, but acknowledging freedom means the freedom to say false things doesn't mean freedom is in conflict with truth. Neither in principle, because ability to say false things doesn't rule out saying true things. Nor empirically - we know that truth is served by freedom.
I'd agree it doesn't in principle. In practice? I'd go so far as to say it doesn't on the whole conflict with the truth in practice. But I'd agree with the other fella that in practice it can/does..
Though freedom to say anything (including false things) is one way people get to talk about them and figure out what's true. This must be some residual JS Mill reading kicking around in my head, coming out from time-to-time
Okay, but even if I accept that in practice the freedom to say false things can lead to bad consequences, it isn't the freedom to say whatever you want - it's merely the freedom to say false things (which we've always had - it's not new).
