- AnimalMuppet 3y agoWell, see, if you're expecting morality to happen when there's no legal muscle behind it to enforce it, you're not talking about the real human beings that we have in this country. And I'm not interested in that. I'm not interested in a "free speech" that works only with spherical, frictionless humans. Of course what Musk is doing is immoral. It's also horribly flawed legally, and deserves to get thrown out on its ear. But unless you've got a way to make filing such lawsuits impossible (not just immoral), while still not blocking filing legitimate lawsuits, then you've got an ideal-world-only perspective on freedom of speech. That seems to me to be a waste of time.
