Say it were implemented in this world and you could say anything you like (written, spoken, signed whatever) to anyone who can hear/read/see it. What kind of problems could that create and are there any ways to resolve them without limiting that absolute free speech?

Could it even create unsolvable logical errors? E.g an omnipotent god can’t create a stone too heavy for itself to lift. Maybe there are similar things with absolute free speech.

      Would you not be evoking the “boy cries wolf” scenario? With absolute free speech, there’s no deterrent to a willingful false alarm. Anybody could scream “bomb” or “fire” and maybe the first 3 times there’d be a response, but do you think there should always be a response? If so, wouldn’t pulling away security personnel from the posts reduce security in that specific area? And if not, what do you expect should happen when someone sees an actual bomb and how would their notification be discerned from a fake one without checking it out?

      I’m not convinced that because it’s bad now that it can’t get worse.
