Free speech the concept is different from the First Amendment, which is different from private companies and private property.
The fringes will always be there, they're just more visible and vocal now. The real issue is whether a platform will choose to be moderated or not, and what tools it offers to users to control their experience. All major platforms are still working on that balance, especially as they become increasingly dominant mediums of expression.

And the fringes have enlisted bots to amplify their message, which includes accusations of serious criminal behavior with no evidence that would stand up in court. I suspect media platforms won't actually be able to fix these problems because they are codependent on the outrage that they create.
- manigandham 6y agoI agree. Communications have been mechanized and "social" has expanded in scale beyond any human limit.
