I looked at LBRY for a while, but it kinda looked like the "trashy tabloid" section of the internet.
It's also filled to the brim with Nazis.
I think u mean fReE sPeeCh
Free speech is about more than Nazis, though... Don't let the Nazis take that from us.
Free speech isn't a real thing. Every society throughout history has drawn the line somewhere, even ones that claim to have "free speech." The US constitution had been in effect for less than a decade when the first laws restricting speech were passed. The only legitimate argument is about where the line should be, not if there should be a line at all. Even if you're a "free speech" person, I assume you agree that csam shouldn't be allowed, which means you do have a line.
Even most of the unlimited free speech people seem to draw the line at child porn, for example (except the ones who are pedophiles I assume). They say there is no line until they find one.
