How is a stabbing video anything about freedom of speech? I often support Electronic Frontier Foundation but this makes no sense.
If freedom of speech only applies to "acceptable" speech, then it isn't really freedom of speech.
It never was. It's freedom of speech without having to fear governmental penalties, broadly speaking. Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable "speech".
In those examples it's not the speech that's illegal, there's a real crime that the speech is part of. False advertising is a form of fraud, but if there's no fraud involved (satire, humor, education, etc) it's legal.
