It's crazy how a group uniquely obsessed with insulting people by calling them "snowflakes" can so resolutely argue that everyone has to host everything they say, by law, & no one can moderate it. Interesting breakdown of votes here, with Roberts, Breyer, Kavanaugh, Barrett and Sotomayor voting to temporarily block. Alito's opposition on the other hand does not tickle me: > He said the case raises questions of "great importance" concerning a "ground-breaking" Texas law that addresses "the power of dominant social media corporations to shape public discussion of the important issues of the day." This idea that just because an online site is popular implies that it should not have powers to moderate itself is... wild. It's not the court's role, but if anything, it seems again like we need to go look at Competitive Competition/Adversarial Interoperation. If you want an answer, it's not compelling all popular sites to host all content. Letting different sites pick & choose what they'll host, and letting those voices spread, seems like a basic & primitive sensibility. De-duopolize the online channels. On a personal & somewhat different note, it's been super weird for me entering into this new phase where I kind of get & respect the idea of corporate speech rights? The idea that corporations have rights, like rights to speech, has always seemed vulgar & wrongheaded, felt like another activist Supreme Court picking favorites & granting privileges to the big & the powerful. I'm still not convinced in the unlimited corporate rights ideas, but these modern social issues (I can't quite bring myself to consider them up to the level of 'debates') makes me really understand & sympathize at least somewhat with the idea that corporations need to be able to have some opinions, that the online & other places of the world need some ability to regulate themselves. I was expecting to live & die, polarized to the belief that corporate speech rights were hogwash & a betrayal of democracy. And I'm still not sure their rights involve heavily financing political campaigns. But I at least see a little bit of an idea, that corporate entities have some of their own rights now.
