Christopher Hitchens - Free Speech

Christopher Hitchens delivers a speech defending freedom of speech, including the right of audiences to hear offensive speakers and a take on the fire-in-a-crowded-theatre line. It is framed around the Charlie Hebdo attack.
HN invokes it in nearly every content moderation and censorship thread as the most eloquent case for free speech.
