When they lead to harm, they do indeed end.

People often forget the right to free speech isn't prioritized over other human rights in pretty kych every first world country.

Otherwise stuff like Libel and Slander wouldn't make sense legally. As well as hate speech laws.

Your right to free speech comes after peoples rights to safety from harm, and how that's worded varies country by country, but feel free to Google up on it for your specific case.

It's why stuff like advertising laws, misinformation and disinformation laws, etc can work too.

Free speech isn't right #1, which some people just can't seem to wrap their head around I guess. This isn't even new, it's been like that for ages.

How do you think snake oil salesmen could be prosecuted if they were allowed to just say whatever they want?

Why do you think it's possible to have legal repercussions for threatening to shoot up a school, or bomb a plane?
