Just because you have freedom of expression doesn't mean everyone is obligated to listen to it and pay you money for it.
"Freedom of expression" is just that, the freedom to voice your opinion. It's not the "Right of attention".
Furthermore, like any freedom there are limitations when your freedom starts endangering the freedom of others. We don't allow hate speech and death threats, so where does anti-vax fit in?
- blfr 8y agoI like the way Eric Weinstein put it. “I don’t believe that we can afford to take a neutral stance anymore. I don’t believe that we should optimize for neutrality..” -@jack Glad to hear it. And, because you just changed your view on neutrality, I just changed mine on anti-trust, eminent domain and tech platforms. https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1095457572314787840 https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/109545757231478784... It's true. These platforms don't owe users a freedom to voice their opinions. But since they're making editorial decisions, we, as a society, don't owe them protection from libel laws for example. And we should definitely look into monopolistic practices of VISA and Mastercard because it's much more serious than some microblogging site.
