If you really value free speech, you’d let people speak things that you disagree with. Otherwise, no, you aren’t advocating for free speech.
I’m all for free speech! But only if you say things that don’t upset me :(
I think it's important to consider whether existing social media platforms can even support "free speech." And how does society even define the term?
Regardless of that philosophical discussion, I don't think EFF is specifically debating the free speech principles of an average person who is acting in good faith. Social media platforms that are owned by companies like Meta allow well-founded groups to flood user feeds with bad sponsored content.
Assumed identity, writing on behalf of others. Manipulative leading suggestion, no true Scotsman type of statement.
Great article. Lots of care put into writing this one. Really nice to know that quality rhetoric like this is being written so that others can approach these issues seriously. Reading this was like Drano for the Brain-O, my thoughts have never been so smooth lmao xD!!
