    What Mill got wrong was that as described, "free speech" is exploitable by fascists for authoritarian ends.


    Unfortunately, free speech is exploitable by any group for any ends. You
    could just as easily substitute "communists," "socialists," "theocrats," and several other groups there in place of "fascists" and it is still correct.

    "anarchists for anarchy" would also fit.

    I see free speech as a two-way street. The listener doesn't have to listen and, if they do, they need to use their brains to filter out the garbage.

    Just how does X force you to listen or read anything these days?

    X has and is used by top officials around the globe. Pretending it's "just a form" is either incredibly ignorant, or intentionally side stepping the fact.
