the opinion which it is attempted to suppress by authority
may possibly be true. Those who desire to suppress it, of course deny its
truth; but they are not infallible. They have no authority to decide the
question for all mankind, and exclude every other person from the means
of judging. To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that
it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute
certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility.
- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859)
Good thing we have the world's greatest minds working on the problem of modern online discourse.
