And who is saying that? Oh, yes, it's the rich, privileged, white, right-wing elite who don't like the idea of people holding them responsible for what they say!
Note all the fuss at the moment about Virgin Trains stopping selling the Daily Mail and them claiming it's an "assault on Freedom of Speech" and "censorship".
When Liverpool newsagents stopped selling The S*n because of the lies it printed after Hillsborough, was that an "assault on Freedom of Speech" or just a desire not to have anything to do with a gutter rag that spreads lies and foments hatred and division?
