Great strawman but no, this is not free speech, this is illegal content and laws exist to prosecute those who disseminate it. Free speech allows you to offend others … it doesn’t give you a pass to break the law.
I mean this is real free speech. We might find what they say and talk about horrible. But that’s what real free speech gets you

As I said I find the whole trying to pass off pedophilia as something normal horrible. That doesn’t mean that them having their own instances and communities isn’t part of free speech.
Real free speech isn’t censored by law.
Again I’m just making an observation here it doesn’t mean I’m okay with this happening but this is what we signed up for, liberty has a cost.
As far as I’m concerned those people should be put on a police watch list and have all their post be read by their local authorities lol

freedom of speech means that the government cannot censor you. Lemmy is not the government
