@SW-User how do the laws develop not being written in stone as we know...?

@Platoscave That's exactly why free speech laws usually only cover what I mentioned. They are mere guidelines but important ones to learn how to tolerate each other in society because they work.
If you limit any other kind of speech, it's only a matter of time until someone limits yours. History has proven this. A modern and less egregious example is Facebook and Twitter ban policy starting to backfire on those that demanded changes in their rules. Europe is also facing a lot of issues partly because of this.
When you start policing each other's speech, it creates resentment and unrest and then, it's only a matter of time until that powder keg blows up.
This wasn't nearly as much of a problem before the outrage culture began.
