"Limits of free speech" is a short essay by Karl Jones

Limits of free speech

[Context: Is purposely spreading lies and misinformation on a mass scale to under mind our democracy qualify as freedom of speech?]

No. Speech is based on truth, reliability, honest communication.

Purposely spreading lies and misinformation is—

  • Corrupt speech
  • Pathological speech
  • Broken speech
  • Speech as hunting call of predators
  • Speech as parasitic infection
