      I can probably translate, given the context

      It’s “evil/leftist/PC/woke/liberal/sanitised” thoughts, written or spoken, that’s sarcastically called right speech as a way to mock and bemoan the fact that using slurs, punching down, and harassment (particularly towards genuinely marginalised people) etc, is becoming ever the less tolerated by a majority of humans.

        According to the votes my post constitutes “wrong speech”.

        How would you classify it. Slur? Harassment?

      Speech that we like. You can tell by the votes.

    If this question is “Would you rather everyone be able to talk, or just people who are correct?” Then, uhm, correct according to who?

    I prefer having a range of forums of different functions, from “Only my friends can speak” to “everyone, save for those who use speech to harass or intimidate, can speak” to “only the teacher can speak.” None of those fit neatly into either category here (even teachers are sometimes wrong).

    It depends.

    Should governments regulate what you can or have to say? No (except if you threaten someone, call for physical violence etc.)

    Should individual people have the ability to ban you from their property or web service because of what you say? Yes (I prefer if they don’t but it should still be their right to do so)

    Should businesses? Yes but probably not arbitrarily

    What about spaces that can be seen as public forums? It’s complicated, maybe it should be handled on a case by case basis

      But how about you? Which one do you, personally, prefer?

      You have the power of the vote after all. The choice is entirely yours.

        I don’t really understand your question. Like I wrote in my comment, I prefer to handle it depending on context.

      Speech that is popularly approved of basically. Or authoritatively approved of maybe, if you have one of those.

      Votes are a good judge of that. Look at the votes on my post.
