If inaction due to inability to decipher signal from noise is the consequence of a more absolute definition of free speech, it's an acceptable trade off. Too often not accepting the good with the bad results in attempts to correct the bad but instead "corrects" the good. Not every problem requires a proactive, legislative solution.

In these cases I fear, in the long term, we just have to count on the human nature to want to be able to make noise.
