Don’t Use These Free-Speech Arguments Ever Again
- prepend 5y agoThis should be noted as being from 2019. Good article and it actually pays off with useful analysis, I feared a listcicle with just BS clickbait. I think this is a good measure for how privately owned, public places (eg, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc) that are so large they aren’t actually curated. I think using these kinds of legal determinations of when free speech is abridged is helpful for productive discourse that doesn’t revolve into happy echo chambers. I’m not sure what the line is that prevents small sites from being abused with this (I can moderate comments on my blog according to whatever tyranny I like) but I think clearly massive sites that allow broadcasting to millions should have a more systematic and fair way of removing speech.
