    Thanks for your comment, but I’m a little confused - it’s very easy for nuance to get lost in online comments like this.

    Are you saying that you are a supporter of absolute free speech, but you also support banning of certain clothing items, such as religious face coverings?

    Or are you saying that you support current prohibitions against hate speech, but you wouldn’t support extending those laws, because you’re against censorship and that would be overstepping your personal red lines?

    It seems to me that there is something mutually contradictory in there, but it’s very possible that I am misunderstanding you. To be clear, I’m not criticising you and I’m not interested in arguing or debating with you, I’m just trying to understand. I believe you should be entitled to believe what you want, and that you should be allowed to express your opinion. Personally, what I do have a problem with is online media platforms massively amplifying hateful extremist views to generate engagement.

    Hope that makes sense! Feel free to ignore this comment if you don’t want to reply, and I wish you a pleasant day!
