Imagine not believing in free speech. I mean, sure, inciting violence isn't protected speech and the creeps behind it need to be punished, but you can't just strip people of their rights just because you don't agree with them.
Everything noticeably went to shit once smartphones became ubiquitous, social platforms became worldwide, and broadband internet started to become widely adopted, particularly in America. Imagine if in the early 1900s, not only did every American have professional-grade radio equipment, but the means of making national broadcasts to anyone. Imagine if in the mid-20th century every American had access to studio-quality television/cable equipment and had the means of making national broadcasts to anyone.

The issue is technology and how misinformation and hatred are able to freely reach people in a more quick, effective manner than actual news. It sounds draconian but regulated social platforms would be a godsend.
