Some of the answer sets came off as, "some regulations / some regulations / REGULATIONS ARE EVIL". Or, that first question about censorship: I believe that views that are objectively provably false should perhaps be limited in official contexts - for instance, no US government official should be allowed to use their position to promote views that immigrants are primarily rapists and murderers, or that the recent US election was fraudulent, when the evidence strongly points to the opposite - but the phrasing implied that this was indistinguishable from censoring mere opinion - for instance, one's belief about the presence or absence of a supernatural entity not detectable by science.</div></div></div>
