The idea that we should hand over the power for policing what speech is "allowed" to giant global corporations is naive and silly.

- notatoad 8y agothe idea that giant global corporations should be required to broadcast whatever you say is naive and silly. They aren't policing what speech is allowed, anybody is allowed to say anything they want to. They're policing what speech they choose to promote. without facebook or twitter, i don't have the ability to reach an audience of tens or hundreds of thousands. with facebook or twitter, i do. that means that when twitter shares my speech with tens of thousands of people, they're promoting my idea to a larger audience than i would ever have without them. it's ridiculous that they would be required to promote what i have to say. if they choose to not have me on their platform, i can still reach whatever natural audience i can reach without them. they haven't silenced me in any way. Twitter is not a human right.
