>However, what happens when those "ugly positions" are algorithmically amplified and spread far and wide through social media to people who are not prepared to question them critically, and instead appeal to their basest desires and inner fears? Is that still free speech or is it now brain power-washing... or even a brain water-cannon? Are you going to set up a committee of "specialists" who decide what speech is okay for wider distribution and what speech is perfectly in its rights to be freely said, so long as its passed by non-digital means? Considering how much garbage came wrapped as firm truth even from mainstream sources of information during the pandemic, I'd like to laugh at the idea of anyone being able to concretely say they can judge "correct" speech from "ugly" speech well. Your entire text above tacitly implies that a large majority are nearly brainless sheep who need to somehow be protected from supposed harmful ideas by their betters, by some sort of betters. Perhaps such as yourself?
