> By your logic, it's OK for Bill Gates to buy all the press influence to completely silence the politically-other-side. That is not OK, for the very simple reason you shouldn't be allowed to monopolize the media or any industry for that matter. The way you protect free speech is by not allowing any company to become so large and powerful that it rivals governments and can enact censorship. > And my mention of net neutrality is to show how flawed your whole logic process is. I don't see how that points out a flaw? I just explained that net neutrality is not protected under freedom of speech, so I don't see its relevance. > hm I actually find this scary. Maybe you're from China, where deviant opinions/minorities must be snuffed down for "harmonious society"? Thank you for keeping the discussion respectful. I don't think opinions should be snuffed out, but I also think you shouldn't be forced by the government to publish lies. I worry that if governments can force companies to publish all opinions including the ones they don't agree with, then they can also force them to publish propaganda.
