It will probably never be free speech happening. It’s always been free speech with exceptions.

I think one measure of society is how strictly it imposes some kind of penalty for people that use speech that crosses those boundaries. No one should get away with racist comments and not be penalized in some way. Not necessarily legal penalties, I mean including smaller stuff, like limiting the pool of potential friends. There’s a lot of range with these.

Another measure would have to do with what the penalties even are.
