      My predictive ability says that this isn't over, will not be over on the 20th. We will have a serious terrorism problem in the coming years, and freedom of speech will be curtailed as a response. There are multiple pressures behind this, but one is social media.

      Back when most social media platforms were first coming on, they used a kind of *pure* freedom of speech ideal as a way to avoid paying people to moderate their platforms. It was a cost-saving effort, and maybe some really did believe in it, but that's STEM education for you.

      The best way to preserve freedom of speech is through moderation. You prevent people from being silenced permanently, by selectively shutting posts down before they get to the point that people get hurt and killed.

      That seems like an oxymoron -- like, free speech can only exist when it isn't free? It's like the little dots in the yin-yang. That's exactly it. If you give people absolute freedom, they will freely and happily violently constrain the freedom of others.

      We're now at the point where this has gone unchecked for so long that people have been allowed to convince large numbers of others that they need to kill or be killed. Yeah, free speech will be curtailed now, because it was allowed to become fatal.

      To be fair, I don't think that the coming crackdowns on freedom of speech will accomplish much. Like, you ignored the trash fire until the curtains caught, and now to save the house, you plan on diverting a river through it.

      really remarkable that we went two hundred years with free speech innit might have thought something would have happened earlier

          True, but the very fact that it's taking place online is a real game changer. It's normal public square speech on steroids, with automatic huge audiences and the ability to create alternate information streams, with lower risk that you're going to get punched outed to your boss.

          Punched *or* outed... One might say that the moderation I mentioned earlier existed in the public square, but it doesn't online, because it's not face-to-face. There's a tempering to speech that happens purely because you're in front of a human.
