More and more people are cheering censorship. It's amazing how when I was a kid we all agreed censorship was a bad thing, but now everyone agrees it's a good thing.https://twitter.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1139199113873043456 …

There's just a bunch of people who won't shut up. People just...don't like what they hear, all the time.

Could there more nuance than "all censorship is bad"? What causes the more harm; censoring thoroughly debunked* ideas, or allowing them to continue causing actual injury? *by peer reviewed science

Well, yes, everyone agrees with the nuanced view "what I think is bad should be censored". That's the point.

Doesn't the same argument apply to any kind of sanction, anything that is illegal? Laws are also based on "What I think is bad should be illegal". Do you think all laws should be abandoned? or should be judged case by case.

Laws that violate th constitution?

The constitution is also a statement of "What I think is bad should be illegal". The US 1st amendment is unusual compared to international norms. Most countries regulate harmful speech to a greater extent, including domestic abuse, defamation, hate-speech, due process gag rules.

E.g. many European jurisdictions ban media reporting of defendants, perp walks, etc, and reporting on criminal trials until a verdict is reached. It defends the innocent against a prejudicial court of public opinion. Is that bad? is that censorship?
