It limits disruptive and frankly antisocial behavior. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children) But you could just kick them out or refuse them entry to the airport as they aren't required to permit free speech? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I'm not trying to justify or leap to any defense, just trying to understand myself. But I'm kind of getting the feeling that they are trying to do a catch-all. For all practical purposes, if it was a free-for-all of people treating airports like public forums, it just keeps sliding. The reason the airport is there is to facilitate people's travel, travelers don't want to be annoyed by constant destractions, let's face it, customs and enforcement wants the least amount of chaos. The airport doesn't want to bear the continual cost of extra staff to manage. Police don't want to have a hotspot of constant nuisance calls. I think this type of post really inflames people, but in a way it seems to have practical purpose. I'm not even sure that it implies that free speech is not allowed in the airport. Just like tacitly... Dear annoying assholes that hide behind Free Speech, go stand here. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago Yes, but they can still annoy you with dumb lawsuits. Maybe this reduces those. permalink fedilink source parent [–] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) You can stand behind it to talk with others using free speech. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago pillowtalk voice Only $1.99 a minute, so call now, citizen. We're all here, waiting to do free speech things with you. C'mon. Reach out and touch another heart, (inside this cage we share) as we slowly go insane together. permalink fedilink source parent
