Watching the news about protests in different countries, I keep wondering if free speech on social media is an absolute right or if platforms should restrict hate speech even when it doesn't incite violence. I've seen comments that attack people's ethnicity but don't directly threaten anyone, and they stay up because they're just 'opinions'. On the other hand, banning those comments could silence important voices in places where governments already crack down on dissent. At what point does protecting people from harm justify limiting what others can say?
