Free speech means that, yes, an extremist may have the chance to voice their opinions, but at the same time, everyone else has the freedom to respond and engage with them. If such a person were banned by a central authority, they would likely find an alternative platform anyway. The beauty of decentralization lies in the fact that even someone with extreme views, regardless of why they believe them, can be exposed to a reality where people engage with them and challenge their opinions. This approach, rather than silencing them on mainstream social media, avoids deepening their belief that they’re “onto something” just because they’ve been shut down—fueling their conviction that “the truth must be suppressed.”
