Yes this is a honest concern, I tend to agree that there should be more freedom here, and things like piracy should be allowed.
As well as total free speech, none of that paradox of tolerance bullshit everyone is trying to push whenever they want to censor someone.
However, I think though we can all agree that child abuse and CP is not allowed.
It’s a thought experiment that was born out of the fucking Nuremberg Trials, you pillock. It was a reflection of what we did wrong as humanity. It’s hardly just some essay some bloke wrote. FFS pick up a history book once or twice.
So, you have no arguments against it, you just don’t like that people use it to shut out intolerant discourse?
By the way, it’s not “just a thought experiment”. It’s a philosophical principle that Popper put out there as self-preservation for democratic societies. You can argue its merits all you want, but you haven’t so far.

You can find an instance that supports the things you agree with (piracy and freedom in your case)
How is that bullshit?
Because it’s just a thought experiment that is taken dogmatically, while in reality is just used by fascists to censor the free speech

Uncomfortable seeing “free speech is a good thing “ downvoted
