Jesus wept. You can say false things when you don't have the freedom to say whatever you want. And you're often (in the true meaning of the word often unlike below) unable to say true things if you're not free. As I say, Jesus, bloody hell, my god.https://twitter.com/EthicalStL/status/1160636486678695936 …
You're applying the principle of charity, which is admirable, but really people have got to be careful claiming, starkly, that freedom often (not sometimes, not potentially, but often), conflicts with truth.

How big is often? Is it a metric often or an old imperial often? Anyway. I'm also applying the principle of: I personally have no other context to work with. I hope I remember and get the chance to see the full talk. 1/

Also, personally again, I tend to think that freedom to say whatever you want, including false things, leads to debates which can get us closer to the truth. Many things we say aren't 100% true or false, but a combination, JSMill, blah blah blah.
