    If freedom of speech only applies to “acceptable” speech, then it isn’t really freedom of speech.

      So freedom of speech doesn’t exist anywhere? Literally every place has some restrictions.

      It never was. It’s freedom of speech without having to fear governmental penalties, broadly speaking. Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable “speech”.

        In those examples it’s not the speech that’s illegal, there’s a real crime that the speech is part of. False advertising is a form of fraud, but if there’s no fraud involved (satire, humor, education, etc) it’s legal.
