Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws?
krigo666@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t know why you are being downvoted, this is correct: “My freedom ends where the next person’s freedom starts.” We can do everything we want as long it doesn’t harm or encroach (and “harm” and “encroach” are loadeds words in this context) the next person. “Harm” and “encroach” here means you don’t diminish the other persons rights, at all.

“At all” is kinda contradictory part. Limiting harm to others would already necessitate limiting freedoms and the more people and closer together they live the more freedoms are limited.
Living in the middle of nowhere and a person can do almost whatever pops in their mind, almost absolute freedom.
Living in a city and there’s a long list of laws/rules/regulations that already limit what one can do. Not that those are bad limitations.

Individuals should not limit other’s freedom, and as such the law can restrict individual freedoms to that purpose.
