      Another example of collapsing free-speech culture. The fact that platforms have legal freedom to do this sort of thing does not change the cumulative impact on the cultural underpinnings of free speech, upon which the legal regime depends.https://twitter.com/pbolyard/status/1142882568498556933 …

      The First Amendment does not create a marketplace of ideas; it only facilitates one. If the culture turns against the free exchange of ideas between willing speakers & willing (even grudging) listeners, the legal architecture becomes so much abandoned, rusted ruin.

          Private forums can maintain their own rules for speech. It's not a 1st amendment issue.

          Dan isn’t arguing otherwise; he’s talking about a culture of free expression—not the law.

          Absolutely not. As abhorrent as the biased bullies in tech are, more regulation and less free market aren’t the solutions. We just need to keep shining the spotlight on them.

          Yes; it is exactly these cultural changes/losses many people point to when they ask "what has conservatism conserved?" French et al. tout (narrow) legal victories as the cultural losses mount, thus the disconnect btw the elites ("we're doing great!") and base ("we're losing").

          Half the people I follow hold different political points of view from mine. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
