this is entirely my own opinion
Lets carry out a thought experiment. Suppose we have a man who doesn't know what chocolate is. He has never been shown a picture of chocolate, he didn't sniff nor touch it, he never heard of it. Can this man ever think of chocolate? No. Consider a man in two hypostasises. First hypostasis: the body. A great physician of antiquity said: "you are what you eat". And that's really it. You eat, you drink, and everything you drink and eat eventually becomes yourself. Prove me wrong. The same way the information obtained by you via the six well-known channeles (ears, eyes, etc) eventually forms your identity, and this is the second hypostasis. While in the mother's womb, you are already beginning to receive information, but so far only auditory. Those sounds that you hear form synapses between the neurons in your brain, which then become a part of your habits, character, fears, etc. And this continues to happen to you through all your life. The system generates you according to the image and likeness of itself. Of course, you are endowed with intelligence, and thus you are a self-generated system yourself, but you live in the same system that everyone else lives in, you are a part of it. The opinion that you call entirely your own, really is not, because it's composed of the information you were able to get and the source of that information is not you.

You are right here.
Lets return to our subject. The Nazis made a lot of bad things in Europe (the war, the extermination of the Jewish people, a variety of experiments on humans, etc). If humanity is to allow to spread the information about it everywhere, it could lead to unpleasant consequences. Here you are very conscious person, you can be trusted in terms of informational influencing on your neighbor. But what if a child who has never heard of Nazism reads this? He begins to be insterested. What if his very first opinion on the subject will be acclaiming it? Freedom of speech is the image that was originally created to facilitate the movement of propaganda. A man cannot live without society, he should not destroy it, he should protect it. Remember what was the ultimate punishment in the Greek polis? It was the expulsion from the polis. Outside the system a man is doomed, so lets protect our system.
