> "the solution to bad speech is more speech"

Yes, but when enough people who otherwise have little actual power get together to drown out "bad speech" with "more speech" it gets called 'cancel culture' and 'witch hunts' and is used as the primary example of 'censorship' on social media.



There's a difference between refuting someone's argument, and trying to get them fired because you don't like their conclusion.
