    Are we supposed to see a billionaire squelching criticism by using her enormous economic clout and libel laws that notorously favor rich plaintiffs as a free speech victory?https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1286373564036284419 …

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Wasn't she on the letter, Jeet? In all seriousness I ask: should people on the letter either retract their name or ask for hypocrites like her and Weiss to be removed?

        I wonder that about journalists with massive followings that mute people for breaking arbitrary rules they've made up regarding what words commenters are allowed to use
