Do you believe in censorship?
Pic related, for instance, is a book making the argument for black people being a different species: homo erectus. All the research used to support this point is blatantly outdated or taken out of context, however a clueless reader could be compelled by the weak arguments. Should material like this be allowed to be published?

What do YOU think, OP?

rights correlate to responsibilities.

the right to speech correlates to the responsibility not to cause harm......but what defines "harm"?....is a "sjw" getting triggered on tumblr being harmed?

I suspect this thread will be shit

Generally speaking, things that are patently untrue were not published because it would damage the publisher's reputation. Now people can self-publish the lines are getting blurrier. Don't take things at face value, I guess? To answer your question, sure, it should be allowed to be published, but it won't be taken seriously because anyone knows that black people aren't Homo Erectici.

Of course I believe in censorship. You would be a fool to deny that the literary industry, at least in america, is trend-oriented and oversaturated. Does that mean that black man is a different species than white man? No. Does it mean that you can not consider this topic literarily without hateful backlash? Yes. So yes, censorship is a real thing. Ideologies publishing ideologies.

Concerning book in OP, I've read it, and I would agree that races are at the very least different sub-species, but it matters very little in the long term, as we are a Human Race, or a Terran Race, if you will, and race based arguments are small minded.

I think Mill's conclusion is very problematic, exactly because the distinction between harmful and safe discourse is so blurry and up to the individual; it could easily be instrumentalized by the powers that be in order to restrict freedom and facilitate tyrannies

No that's retarded. What real-life negative impact will there be on this world if some /pol/tard reads this book? Not like anyone else will read it and take it seriously.

Is it possible to really censor when you can't even seriously control piracy? You can make it hard to monetize, resulting in maybe lower quality fringe material, but you can't get rid of ideas.

on the other hand, people talking shite with complete abandon and taking no responsibility for what they say has its own problems for the individual speaker (they don't have to grow up) and for society at large.

The problem with censorship is that it is used to stifle "wrong-think." What happens is that update Erectus and it is used to prove that Blacks are a subspecies ... could you handle this?
