Christopher Hitchens - Free Speech
hitch archive · 9 recommenders · 9 months
Christopher Hitchens delivers a speech defending freedom of speech, including the right of audiences to hear offensive speakers and a take on the fire-in-a-crowded-theatre line. It is framed around the Charlie Hebdo attack.
Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN invokes it in nearly every content moderation and censorship thread as the most eloquent case for free speech.
