I don’t think, that’s a good idea, it just screams virtue signaling to me. Also it’s pretty anti freedom of speech. This is just so childish, it’s embarrassing.
he is not just deciding for himself, he is also deciding for others in this case. If he would have just blocked them, that would have been his choice. But he is also making a choice in others’ stead. And that has nothing to do with freedom, the others can make a choice on their own. I feel like the term freedom of speech has been degenerated to a tool to push ones own agenda. People try to suppress other opinions, which leads to lack of discourse and radicalization.
