Free speech on the internet worked fine back before everyone was on the internet - I don't think it's easy to tell if the shift was solely due to companies coming along with echo chamber algorithms or if it's an issue with most people not being able to handle being anonymous by default. I'm not trying to say it's definitely one way or the other (or some other way I can't recognize) - but I think we've got a very murky study with a lot of confounding variables.
