      I don't know if the pendulum is swinging back the other way or it's just crisis consequences or I was just wrong in the recent past, but consider me to be enlisting in the free speech absolutists side of the tug of war for the foreseeable future.pic.twitter.com/vzLMOoL5T9

      Internet Speech Will Never Go Back to Normal
In the debate over freedom versus control of the global network, China was largely correct, and the U.S. was wrong.

      > Significant monitoring and speech control are inevitable components of a mature and flourishing internet, and governments must play a large role in these practices to ensure that the internet is compatible with a society’s norms and values. Fuck. That. Shit.

          Seriously, I was very much on team "ban the fucking nazi trolls already" two or three years ago, and I hope they all rot in hell, but the increasingly loud and harmonized chorus is now in at least my precautionary principle triggering region.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1254213207217979392 …

          My opinion on banning has eVoLveD because of it (+@Aelkus & a little of @sonyasupposedly influence too.) The open protocol layer is what makes the good stuff flourish and is worth defending. It’s just the data access patterns that are constrained to a degree that they’re broken.

          2020 is me thinking, "fuck, even if it was for the wrong reasons that I won't be able to discern anyway, @jack may have been right???" in between Bawls sessions. What a time, eh?

          Rhetorical question only: Why does everyone making this sort of proposal just blithely assume that it'll be folks from *their* in group exercising this tight control over information?

          Yeah this is absolute batshit. Still, there’s the question how to top-down disincentivize the misinformation issues faced by current social media titans.
