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."
