No, I’m saying that if you agree with the majority then your opinions won’t offend the majority. And if your opinions don’t offend the majority then the majority won’t censor you. So any censorship going around isn’t going to touch you.
While I think there needs to be some limits on speech (e.g. you can’t threaten people), “has different opinion than me” is not one of them.
Freedom of speech needs to be broad because as with so many other things, it comes down to who is making the decision and what there motives are. The obvious here is that the government shouldn’t be able to censor people for disagreeing or criticizing it.
I’m not sure I understand. Are you implying that the majority are in favor of censorship?

Censorship isn’t ok just because you aren’t personally being censored.
How popular do you suppose that opinion is? I think it isn’t very.
So you are ok with people being censored if they have different opinions than you?
I’m mixed on that. How about you?
