Another possible comparison: cities are composed of mostly private entities. The free speech limitations in private businesses are comparable to those on line.

Another possible comparison: cities are composed of mostly private entities. The free speech limitations in private businesses are comparable to those on line. How does that play out? Is the comparison faulty? Honest question. I'd like to figure out a more real-world comparison that matches our intuitions.
- the8472 10y agoThere are lots of public spaces available, maintained by the government. Some plazas are larger than all but the largest private gathering places.
- grzm 10y agoGood point. Any ideas on how to create similar spaces online? And how they should be policed? Should we have some government created forums? I'd be concerned they'd succumb to the same issues we're discussing now. One idea that comes to mind is forbidding anonymous posts, but then again, anonymous speech is also protected.
