I completely support free speech in the sense of opinions being expressed in public institutions, but I feel as if certain people use 'free speech' to condemn people who dare to criticise them.
For example, I am not aware of any concrete effects of the fallout caused by the JK Rowling incident that were not either directly caused by her or just a result of people expressing their counter-opinion. We should not be deplatforming people we don't agree with, but we should not be forced to tolerate opinions that we see as damaging.
