The problem is, this isn’t just a challenge to beliefs. This is the internet. The darkest most depraved shit that can exist… does. People forcing children to do things with animals… I’ll stop there…

The U.S. constitution supports free speech. Even it has limits. You can’t yell fire in a movie theater and not face the consequences of injuries your speech causes.

You in fact can yell fire in a theater without being arrested. It depends on the context (and weather or not there where injuries)

If the play calls for it and an actor says it. Or more simply if the theater is on fire.

With speech laws it matters more what the context is to the intended audience than what is specifically said.
