    Yes this is a honest concern, I tend to agree that there should be more freedom here, and things like piracy should be allowed. As well as total free speech, none of that paradox of tolerance bullshit everyone is trying to push whenever they want to censor someone.

    However, I think though we can all agree that child abuse and CP is not allowed.

      You can find an instance that supports the things you agree with (piracy and freedom in your case)

        Because it’s just a thought experiment that is taken dogmatically, while in reality is just used by fascists to censor the free speech

          So, you have no arguments against it, you just don’t like that people use it to shut out intolerant discourse?

          By the way, it’s not “just a thought experiment”. It’s a philosophical principle that Popper put out there as self-preservation for democratic societies. You can argue its merits all you want, but you haven’t so far.
