In your view who defines what is detrimental?

I think, people will revolt/fight/protest/risk life/etc. when they determine a circumstance is "detrimental" making limits on speech a barrier but something they will overcome when motivated. Much of what we consider free speech, is more like - white noise, but real free speech is when one is willing to put something at risk to facilitate change, this is rare.
