Paradox of Freedom of Speech

The Paradox of Freedom of Speech or Paradox of Free Speech states that if a society has unrestricted freedom of speech, its ability to have unrestricted freedom of speech is going to normalize prejudices, discrimination and hate speech and eventually being seized or destroyed by the prejudiced, intolerants and discriminatory people. This paradox is considered an evolution of the Paradox of Tolerance, and it is used mainly for study how mass media, internet and videogames actually normalize prejudices, discriminations and hate speech.
"An example about how the Paradox of Freedom of Speech actually works is that Trump got his Twitter account deleted, it opens the discussion about the paradox of freedom of speech and the paradox of tolerance, both together as one."

"It's a big issue to discuss about the paradox of freedom of speech, since we cannot control hate speech, prejudices, discriminations and intolerances that easy, it would be necessary more deep studies about how to fight those without become absolutist or something like that."

Police Parade

When a cop is driving under the speed limit and no one will pass him for fear of getting a ticket creating a long line of slow moving cars.
It seemed like it took forever to get here today because I got behind a Trooper who was in the left lane and was going 55 in a 70 and everyone was afraid to pass him. I hate being in a police parade.

care paradox

A paradox that states that anyone who claims to not care about something cares enough to say that he or she does not care and therefore is interpreting the information given. A very uncommon phrase used to proclaim when one "does not care" and yelled at someone to annoy the crap out of them, as in the example below:
Person that does not care (PDC): Well i don't care about that
Annoying person: Care paradox!
PDC: I don't care about that either.
Annoying person: Care paradox!
PDC: Just shut up, won't you?
Annoying person: Well I can still say what I want! Right to free speech, remember?
PDC: Well, I don't-
Annoying person: Care -
PDC: Yeah. Now I really don't care.
Annoying person: Do you know what care paradox is? Look above this conversation. You'll understand soon enough.
PDC: I do and do not care.
