Freedom of speech should have reasonable limits

You're dead wrong on this one. The moment you start deciding what's "reasonable," you've already lost the plot. Who gets to be the arbiter of reasonableness? Today's reasonable limit becomes tomorrow's tool of oppression.Look at what's happening right now across democracies - these are infringements on freedom of expression in open democracies that are supposed to protect the rights of their citizens, with an increasing amount of people believing certain forms of expression are too dangerous to be allowed [1]. Your "reasonable" is becoming everyone's excuse. Ireland just tried passing a law where even mere possession of materials that are likely to incite "hatred" could leave you in an Irish jail [1]. Who defines hatred? The same politicians you want to trust with reasonable limits. Strongly worded opposition to immigration could be considered incitement to hatred under this proposal [1]. The economic data is crystal clear - when you give governments the power to decide what's reasonable, they inevitably expand that power. We've seen a steady erosion where governments use laws that purport to combat issues of public concern but have the effect of unduly restricting the free expression of individuals [1]. Every restriction starts with noble intentions and ends up silencing legitimate dissent. Your "reasonable limits" become the very tools authoritarian movements use to consolidate power. The moment you accept that speech can be too dangerous, you've handed them the blueprint for control.
