There are plenty of things that are restricted from frivolous communication and nobody thinks twice about it. Yet when it comes to hate speech, it's suddenly difficult.

Homophobia used to be accepted because society accepted it, but not anymore, at least in the West. The Holocaust happened because Germans at the time accepted it.

Ultimately, I think what is acceptable speech is down to morality, which many could argue whether morality is subjective or objective. And I don't have time to argue for either because I am not a philosopher.

A lot of things have changed. It is not exclusive to speech. And speech is not only one thing.

Action comes from speech though.
