Say it were implemented in this world and you could say anything you like (written, spoken, signed whatever) to anyone who can hear/read/see it. What kind of problems could that create and are there any ways to resolve them without limiting that absolute free speech?

Could it even create unsolvable logical errors? E.g an omnipotent god can’t create a stone too heavy for itself to lift. Maybe there are similar things with absolute free speech.

    What problems would that bring?

      You could openly plott assassinations or terrorist attacks and law enforments couldn’t do anything until some other law is broken (which might be to late).

        Wouldn’t that make law enforcement easier, if attacks were plotted openly?

      I think it’s mainly that hate drowns out everything else. If you’re in a group of hateful people, you either one of them, or keep quiet or join in. So it won’t take long until everything except hate is silenced. In effect making everyone miserable. Even lots of the hateful people are miserable and that’s what makes them hate on everyting. And so will become everyone else. I think that’s the unhealthy dynamics of hate.

      And it brings censorship. You can’t talk openly about certain subjects if you’re sure you’ll get molested in turn. It’ll cut down on people practicing free speech and make it more a theoretical thing, that’s now just for people who are bold and loud.
