Jason Stern @TheJasonSternInteresting comparison by@zeynep. Though one difference being having no seat belts in cars didn't make it fundamentally more difficult to have a public conversation on car safety https://www.wired.com/story/free-speech-issue-tech-turmoil-new-censorship/ … pic.twitter.com/JJDgLnAXbX1 reply 4 retweets 25 likesShow this thread -

That was part of my motivation for writing it: not to disregard free speech, but to ask: what is it good for? And what does that mean in the 21st century? Focusing on it via old concepts thwarts the goals.https://twitter.com/gilgul/status/953268349282213888 …

We’ve never had this kind of mass yet non-public communication. Old remedies don’t apply.https://twitter.com/marc_thaler/status/953620960225226752 …

Marc Thaler @marc_thaler“The famous American saying that ‘the best cure for bad speech is more speech’ ... loses all its meaning when speech is at once mass but also nonpublic.”@zeynep’s exceptional essay for@WIRED on the reality of#freespeech in the#digital age: https://www.wired.com/story/free-speech-issue-tech-turmoil-new-censorship/ …#technology2 replies 26 retweets 55 likesShow this thread -
Holding the issue in my hand... My first thought is how good
@WIRED is with design. While writing the piece, I was like “can we squeeze the font and pics and space and put more words in?” But this is so pretty. (I think so even on a 6a flight!

Replying to @zeynep
Great article in this, btw. The last couple of paragraphs - this is precisely the problem right? The pace at which tech is going to shape society is only going to increase. How will the "institutional antibodies" keep up?

Replying to @zeynep
Absolutely, but I suspect we'll need new structural tools. Classical styles of regulation and legislation for a industry filled with fast-changing proprietary tech might slip as too little, too much, or just too slow.

Yep, old models and remedies are a mismatch to the needs.
