The Perils of Free Speech

The Perils (serious dangers, risks, or threats that could cause harm or negative consequences) of Free Speech Restrictions and the U.S. Constitutional Safeguard

Any government restriction on free speech, even for "public safety," risks authoritarian abuse, as future leaders could exploit vague laws to silence dissent. The U.S. Constitution's near-absolute free speech protections avoid this, allowing open debate, like on migration or healthcare ethics, with social consequences—not legal bans—ensuring accountability without sliding into dictatorship.
