1. An Unusual Kind of Speech Suppression Someone invited me to write a paper about free speech. Most of what I have to say on the subject is old news: I basically agree with John Stuart Mill, and I don’t understand why everyone else doesn’t agree. Principles of free speech used to be part of our shared understanding of liberal democracy. I grew up on stories about the importance of free speech, like the one about the ACLU defending the Nazis’ right to march in Skokie. (Note: The ACLU are not and were not pro-Nazi.)
