OK. What if the group owns a TV station, or a newspaper? Are they privileged now? They don't need to buy air time, or ad space. They can just air or print whatever they want. And the tv station can freely advertise itself, right? So an

This is a silly example. It's harassment (at least). It's not protected, just like DDoSing a website is not protected speech. And money is necessary for speech. Where do you draw the line? Can I spend $10 on a domain? $100 on host

That's a very good point but weak examples. USENET was not just comparable but better than Reddit. I like more succinct version of that observation by Marc Andreessen Tech only serves rich nerds w/ $$$ products. Same things show

Imagine if when you wanted to connect to your bank over HTTPS you first had to send a HTTP request which asks permission to "upgrade" to HTTPS. This actually happens a lot. Most people most of the time don't painstakingly t

If the fastest route to go from A to B is different than whatever Google says it is, then there's room for a better service. It doesn't matter whether it's a result of Google favouring Uber, or just not doing a very good job.
