The goverment has just revoked your speech license. Please upstain from public talking to more than three people.

The government are against free speech if you are criticising illegal things they are doing.

I really don't get how bomb threats can be considered "speech". Like, there is no benefit to society from allowing people to make bomb threats.

[raxxorraxor]

Be more precise in your thinking. This is not about bomb threats, this is about punishing people that provide a line of communication.

It is not a new concept that defendants of freedom of speech often have to protect scoundrels too. The argument doesn't change, it always has the same pattern and principle. And yes, it is advisable to err on the side of freedom, there is enough literature here to expand on that point.

Additionally the agencies that would demand these information are prone to break the law itself. So this isn't even a discussion about doing something just or not. This is purely a discussion about how much power you want the executive to have. Or in case of Germany, the often misdirected and overworked judicative branch.
