“Censorship and hate speech laws don't protect GOOD IDEAS…they protect BAD ONES. They keep them alive and push them underground. If someone is engaging in HATE SPEECH, you don't silence them. You don’t tell them to shut up.…You say, "COME OVER HERE AND SAY THAT" You say, "BRING IT ON"…..”
Jules Carlysle
“Censorship in any form is the enemy of creativity, since it cuts off the life blood of creativity: ideas.”
Allan Jenkins
“Censorship of ideas or images or words is wrong.”
Richard King
“Everyone has an opinion, and the guy screaming for censorship may be the next guy to have his ideas cut off.”
“The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen.”
Tommy Smothers
“The Chinese censorship mechanism is not just looking for subversive elements. It is also looking at the ideas of 'moral rightness' in society. For example, there are controls on things like pornography, or other elements that the state deems as unpalatable for the population.”
Alexander Neill
“The immigration laws should not be used as instruments of censorship. The State Department should not be deciding which ideas Americans hear and which they do not.”
