Should you disagree, or reject the stark binary ("Sometimes, not always," "They do, but the cure may be worse than the disease," "It's complicated"), read on. I'll try to persuade you that the proposition is true. If you agree you too might want to read on, if only to find out whether we have reached our shared destination by the same route. The First Amendment scholar Owen Fiss laid out a useful starting point for the project I broach here in an elegant little pre-Internet book.1 The irony explored in The Irony of Free Speech is that "censorship, to some degree, enhances freedom."2 Fiss argued for state action in support of free expression. Although he refrained from endorsing particular outcomes for disputes that have divided the Supreme Court over decades, he expressed approval of government funding to support controversial works of art, the criminalization of cross burning, hate speech restrictions, the much-maligned Fairness Doctrine, and the perhaps even more-maligned civil rights remedy crafted 3 by Catharine MacKinnon for harms ascribed to pornography.
