> If Pelosi demanded that Verizon or Sprint interrupt calls to stop people saying false or misleading things, the public would be outraged. I really wish this were true. Maybe it once was. But today, if that call involved a Nazi speaking to a white supremacist about suppressing black votes, I'd guess that a large fraction if not a majority would support that censorship. Those of us who disagreed would be widely painted as at the least, Nazi/white supremacist enablers. I think this because that seems to be a very common reaction to Twitter blocking DMs that included the NY Post link, a much milder violation of norms that the Nazi phone call hypothetical.
