Do you think people you disagree with should be censored?

Question

I'm not talking about dangerous hate speech (like the type of hate speech that starts genocides in motion) I'm just saying in general. Like I really despise Sean Hannity and I think he's a big ole bag of dicks but I think his right to free speech is just as important as mine. And while the lies he spreads may be dangerous to the country, the constitution affords him that right and I can respect that. 
Do you think people you disagree with should be censored? And if so, to what degree? If you think hate speech should be censored, how do you define hate speech? Should a person be censored from saying only bigoted slurs? Or should they be censored from sharing dangerous stereotypes?

Answer

The government should censor as minimally as possible. 
As a private individual I censor much more. I wouldn't allow anyone in my home using slurs as an example.

Answer

The government shouldn't be involved with what I have to say. 
I would censor my kids though if they started using slurs or were being disrespectful.

Answer

How will I show them how much smarter I am if they are censored?

Answer

I think the only thing that should be censored/regulated is sharing misinformation. Like if you do it on accident I can understand, but for things like vaccines for example, people shouldn't be allowed to spread articles that "prove" vaccines cause Autism or stuff like that (when actually the opposite has been proven many times).

Answer

Like censored how? I don't think they should be arrested just because I disagree with them. But I think we should be allowed to mute/block/kick them out of our house/I friend them/get mad at them.

Answer

No I don't believe in censoring, but sometimes I'm really tempted to say fuck it and have the alt-right and all their bs censored.

Answer

Not at all. I cherish our freedom of speech. People can censor whatever they want to in their every day life. Businesses (including news outlets) can employ whomever they want if that's who their listeners want to hear or read. People can say whatever they want in public spaces. Of course, businesses can censor whatever speech they want on their property or on the communications platforms they provide. But I would not condone and government censorship over its citizens.
I don't care if I think what someone is saying is ludicrous, wrong, or false. It is their right to say it and anyone who wants to hear it is more than welcome. I am not about telling someone else what they can or cannot listen to or read. And giving the government that right is a slippery slope, IMO, to further censorship. It is never a good thing to give the government too much power over citizens.

Answer

I'm not stupid enough to feel threatened by something like that.

Answer

I believe that all opinions matter. Experience, strength and hope can be sought through differing opinions. Keep an open mind, always, and if you don't agree with something, move on.

Answer

No one should be censored period. Honestly I think hate speech is a crock of shit. People make up their own minds as to rather or not they want to commit a violent act. 
If you have a group of like minded people, steadily becoming unruly, then yes at that point there should be some kind of censorship on their actions. But if they want to have diarrhea of the mouth that's on them. Don't listen to it if u don't like it
