Say it were implemented in this world and you could say anything you like (written, spoken, signed whatever) to anyone who can hear/read/see it. What kind of problems could that create and are there any ways to resolve them without limiting that absolute free speech?

Could it even create unsolvable logical errors? E.g an omnipotent god can’t create a stone too heavy for itself to lift. Maybe there are similar things with absolute free speech.

    The very first thing that would die is truth. There is no way to solve that without “censoring” or limiting speech.

    Here are some problems that would just rocket their way into everyone’s lives

    • Impersonation, made much easier online
    • Scams and frauds would no longer be crimes
    • Unregulated advertising, effectively the same problem as above (this health supplement will cure cancer and make your dick grow!!!)
    • Defamation and general reputation killing would happen every 5 seconds
    • Some assholes leaving porn playing on public streets and in front of schools, 24/7, because lulz
    • Same as above, but with disgusting shit like 2girls1cup, goatse and similars
