But I firmly believe in the principle of free speech and not stifling discourse.
And no, not just over Parler. But maybe over Twitter bannings. And Facebook bannings. And Parler. And deplatforming. Eventually people will build their own internet you can't control, and continue to talk. How will you feel about that? Let's say for sake of argument that that occurs, that a whole segment of society builds their own hardware infrastructure that the tech giants do not control and cannot shut down. What would you want to happen?
- x86_64Ubuntu 6y agoFree speech concerns government suppression, the government hasn't been involved in the banning so principles concerning Free Speech have no place.
- agiroth 6y agoFree speech is not a right granted by the government, it is a principle and a natural right. We all have it. The government has nothing to do with it. Even if we all lived in anarchy, free speech would still be a thing.
