> Twitter has mass play. It's effectively a worldwide public forum. There should be limits to what speech occurs on it, if only to keep the signal-to-noise ratio down so that genuinely important speech is less drowned out.
This stipulation would be a problem. For one thing we need to be able to distinguish what is genuinely important speech. For another, we would need some kind of check to prevent someone from tipping the scales by flooding the system with speech that technically meets that bar to tip the scales away from less important speech that would have otherwise been protected. Effectively, this makes free speech a sliding scale based on how much "genuinely important speech" others are sharing.
