      “I’m a free speech absolutist who can’t read and believes that people shouldn’t be held responsible for what they say”.

      You’re not a critic, you just sound awfully like a maga snowflake yelling “but muh freedom!”.

        Let’s hold people responsible for what they say by violating freedom of speech.

        Little Jimmy injured himself trying to fly like Superman, so we must hold those media execs responsible by violating freedom of expression.

        Nah, shit argument: mere falsehoods do not incite imminent, unlawful harm. The time to discuss & criticize that speech before acting is unbounded. Any harm is the own doing & responsibility of someone failing to exercise reasonable sense of challenging unsound information & sources.
