Holocaust revisionism should be legal

Bringing up notable holocaust deniers I have found that there are a lot of noteworthy revisionists and that not all of them had a peaceful approach. Yes a lot of them have a PHD which you did point out but if there’s one thing I've learnt is that often a PHD is not an instant verification of being a good or decent person. A lot of them also had relationships and standings with current Nazi groups. A lot of them have been arrested but they knew the consequences and were willing to take it on. If someone knowingly robs a bank and then gets arrested I would have no sympathy because they knew what the consequences were for their actions. Maybe instead of trying to deny the holocaust they would be better to just try and legalize holocaust denial but they chose to go ahead and do it anyway. Still my question goes unanswered of “Why” as in why do they want to disprove the holocaust and what do they see coming out of it something my opponent never really answered. Your biggest claim was “The truth fears no investigation” if that was true wouldn't it be illegal to research it anywhere in the world but it remains illegal only in Europe and parts of Asia and that claim is still questionable in parts of Great Britain and you know why it’s still illegal in Europe it's because that it happened in Europe and these laws were put in soon after the war because there was a lot of Nazi sympathisers in Europe and was used as a way to lower that amount as well trying to remove any Nazi ideals that remained in Europe. One day these laws may be removed but believe it or not it’s still too soon to tell. You also make it seem that big brother has a heavy grip of European Laws like if anyone were to just Google “holocaust denial” a fleet of armed soldiers would smash down the door. I’m sure if anyone just did it on their own and kept the research to themselves nothing like that would happen because honestly no one would find out but it does happen to people who publish those views and they do it knowingly so again I feel no sympathy as they knew those consequences. To answer your question as why should the holocaust be the one and only exception to the rule? Is that it included pretty much all of Europe and other allied countries that fought against Nazi’s. In the last hundred years there were six major genocides including the holocaust but what stood out about the holocaust was that it involved multiple countries, was in a world war, included multiple categories of people and only happened 75 years ago these things make it stand out against the rest especially since there are still victims alive to this day (from what I and a lot of others believe). Something else that you forgot is THE HOLOCAUST ISN’T THE ONLY ONE. Other countries have laws in place towards the denial of genocides including the Khmer Rouge regime’s atrocities and also the Armenian genocide this means by the logic of revisionists all those genocides are false and history is just a massive fluke. I actually just found this out and wished I found it sooner because this shows that it isn’t just the holocaust but other genocides as well. There are more to these laws than just an evil plot to silence the truth but they are here to make sure people feel safe and that we remain respectful to the memory of the dead. I'm ending the debate with this last paragraph. We all know that WW2 happened and we all know that Hitler wanted to build a stronger Germany but why debate the holocaust. We have been given the gift of knowledge and the gift to access it as well but why should someone feel the need to go out of their way to deny the holocaust sure we all have our reasons but to go out of your way and risk your life there seems to an underlying motive with some of these people and we would never know for sure about what they are but it's far too much of a dangerous subject that you simply cannot take the risk especially since there have been issues in the past with that same topic and there will continue to be issues for years to come. For now it's the best option for everyone and yes it does conflict with the right of free speech but if it was legal it would conflict with the right to feel safe as well as increasing the risk of feeding fuel to a large fire.
