Freedom of speach is also to be able to make jokes or critizicms of the goverment without you being thrown into a gulag because of it. But if someone uses it as an excuse to be verbally awful to someone else, that isn't using the right of free speach, it's called being a total dickwart.
But its not illegal
it’s not illegal to be a dick
but harassment IS illegal, which is repeatedly being a dick to a point that it causes high levels of emotional distress
People have DIED from internet harassment and you don’t think people should be held accountable?
why are you even defending this
why defend the right to be an asshole over the right to be safe from assholes?
i assume theyre a dickwad who repeatedly uses the “freedom of speech” excuse which, by the way, if your only excuse for doing uncool things is because its not illegal then its a piss poor defense. the laws do not dictate morality.
