impossible to discuss free speech vs. a monopoly’s right to absolute autonomy until we accept 1) we now largely live extra-physically, *in* the internet (enormous paradigm shift - swallow it, digest it) 2) inability to speak on the internet effectively erases a person from public

<popular app> is not the internet. It stikes me the corollary to “the remedy for bad speech is more speech” is “if your ideas are good, you shouldn’t need to force <popular app> to distribute them.”
i see your ‘if the idea is good you shouldn’t have to protect it’ and raise you ‘if the idea is bad you shouldn’t need to ban it,’ but of course the bigger thing here is we aren’t talking about a “popular app.” we’re talking about one of the most powerful companies in history.
