That's always the price with freedom of speech, however I have faith in our institutions opposed to top-down state control. We have limits on freedom of speech anyways, some of which is the subject of controversy, but in most places inciting violence or "hate" is already a criminal offence.

Even if I don't agree with what Milo has to say or believes in, I will oppose what he does not what he says.

At the end of the day that is the responsibility of the university. I would imagine they can already control who is allowed to speak there.

Why do you have faith when the institutions obviously have their own motives? They are definitely not opposed to top-down state control, it's the president, one person, who is commander in chief, it's only a few hundred people in congress who legislate laws, and they are the ones who dictate what should happend. That is undeniably top-down state control.

Everything has a motive, that's not a reason not to have faith in it. One of your constitutional rights is to freedom of speech, if the government violates your rights, you can take them to court. They don't have much control if they can be challenged.
