Very few people on the pro free speech side are saying they should be given soap boxes for free. On the other hand the "protected right to our thoughts and words" is under major assault as my examples show. Redirecting the debate from the later to the former could be confusion born out of ignorance or be bad faith.
- etchalon 3y agoThe majority of the "pro-free speech"'s concerns seem related to their entitlement to a consequence free soap box. De-platforming, shadow-banning, moderation etc. are the heart of their current fight.
- campbel 3y agoExactly, the goal posts have moved quite a ways from "free speech" being related to government censorship.
- rezmason 3y agoI'm not ignorant or acting in bad faith just for disagreeing with you. You can inspect my stance and speculate on where we agree and disagree, or you can ignore me. I'm choosing to ignore you. But first: welcome to somewhat-anonymous online discourse. I sincerely hope you stick around. Stay hydrated!
