@sarahjeong: Good piece. I wish I could be as sanguine as you are about the outcome of legislating free speech
-
@sarahjeong: I know — I just think some of the conflicts you describe are almost impossible to reconcile (hate speech, etc.)
@mathewi I’m not sure about that, see e.g. Katherine Sullivan’s great law review article: http://harvardlawreview.org/2010/11/two-concepts-of-freedom-of-speech/ …

@mathewi The R.A.V. v. St. Paul treatment of hate speech is part of disagreement on the conception of free speech -
@mathewi the more accepted conception today is the libertarian one (R.A.V., Citizens United) but there’s multiple lenses to use here -
@sarahjeong: My default position is the libertarian one -- and I become more committed to it when I see how the UK and other handle it -
@mathewi Yeah not a fan of the UK but that’s, like, a clusterfuck of lots of other things too -
@sarahjeong: alas, it's clusterfucks all the way down :-) -
@mathewi another thing that I might add is that applying free speech absolutism to the internet is a reinvention of free speech in itself :) -
@sarahjeong: I'm aware of that :-) but to me, that was always one of its best principles -- a tolerance of literally every kind of speech -
@mathewi well i’m working on a longer series about harassment and speech, and there’s a section comparing harassment to spam - 1 réponse de plus
