I understand people are upset & worried about crazy insurrectionists right now, but I'll keep repeating that you will absolutely regret passing laws that say "social media cannot allow or amplify" such speech. Because such a law WILL be applied to BLM protesters too...

You are wrong. A law taxing income above 1,000,000 a year more steeply won’t get applied more harshly to the less powerful. The example in Mike’s tweet probably would.

You need to make that argument specifically, though, on why and how, not rely on slippery slope. Just for making the point: "A law taxing income can be used to target the poor, by auditing them to make sure they aren't actually richer."

Again, I believe you are misrepresenting what I am saying, and there are plenty of laws to which that does not apply. But my point stands that such laws that are directed at speech will be misused.

You can make that argument, but not because any law one makes to regulate X will be applied to something broader or something someone doesn't like. That particular broad argument applies to all regulation (and actually occurs, too, but we don't stop because of that).

OK but it's good if BLM is not allowed to murder people.

Sure but the gist is that they'll use it to suppress left wing ideas, not right wing ones.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

"Excessive air travel regulation makes air travel more expensive, so people drive more which means they die more since that is less safe." It's not even all incorrect. Pretty much all regulations have these issues of reach, unintended consequence, purposeful misapplication, etc.
