Institutions can largely do what they want. eg the Catholic Church has the right to insist all its speakers are Catholic.The principle of freedom of speech is both larger & simpler than this. Allow people who want to exchange ideas to do so. Don't force people to listen to you. https://twitter.com/ninthhostage/status/984125475856506883 …

I just read this again. I’m wondering about situations in which some no-platform an pre-arranged event b/c they don’t believe the speaker has a right to be heard or that others have the right to hear it. When an institution has to XL an event b/c of the demands of a mob, IDK.

What are you wondering? That falls under not allowing others to speak or listen.

This is very helpful, the way you’ve cut through the rhetoric and distilled it to four points. We get mired in the minutia and the buzz words. The piece was indeed elegantly written.

Seems that a line gets blurred regarding freedom of speech. Especially on this side of the Atlantic. Freedom of speech is primarily freedom from governmental prosecution for dissenting speech. Employers can fire, institutions can invite/dis-invite, etc...
