Well Obama...I am pro free speach
And I empathize and understand people who talk about free speech in its most unadulterated way.
But there are tradeoffs and costs, lots of them have been already detailed so I'll focus on something else: productivity and initiative.
Social media lifted the veil on really how easily manipulated the avg. individual is. There is no turning back from that, no turning back from not knowing that information, it's almost like when you first get the concept of mortality and that one day you are going to die.
And those using social media to manipulate the avg. individual could be left-wing, right-wing, independent, greens, libertarians etc. But as we are seeing these days also billionaires with an agenda , cults, religious movements, corporations, NGOs, Secret Services etc.
For a person trying to make a living in this world, that's really scary, it damages productivity because given all the above people become extremely defensive and think twice before taking any initiative....they could become the target of some cult or political movement with just a simple action such as firing an employee or speaking their mind about something.
And the attack could come from every side or even multiple sides
