One question about this doomsday scenario: "cui bono"? What does the EU gain from squashing free speech in your mind?

That’s the problem with censorship, isn’t it? It’s always in someone’s interest. What speech will be silenced depends on who is in power at the time.

If we can’t mount a strong defense of free speech on principle alone then it’s doomed anyway.
