Without freedom of speech, we would never be exposed to contradictory ideas, and we would never grow. If freedom of speech is so important, why do people keep trying to shut it down? Take New York State’s “Online Hate Speech Law.” Why is the State of New York attempting to get social media networks to act as government censors for them?

The State of New York has enacted a new law, slated to take effect December 3, 2022, with one goal: to silence disfavored—but constitutionally protected—expression. New York General Business Law Section 394-ccc ostensibly targets “hateful conduct,” but in reality, regulates protected online speech that someone, somewhere perceives to “vilify, humiliate, or incite violence against a group or class of persons” based on race, color, religion, or other protected categories (the “Online Hate Speech Law”).

Because we don’t have a functioning judicial system, neither do we have functional constitutional governments. Therefore, we must bow the knee and wait for the priests in black robes to offer their opinion, which most of the people will follow as if it were law. We can only hope the courts get it right this time.
