Ironically (if that’s the right word) one thing that our early tussle with the folks of the now UK gave us was this 👇. Too bad we can’t return the favor.
“Congress (substitute Parliament) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Yeah, I've looked really, really closely at that sentence, and I can't find any exceptions for 'misinformation', 'disinformation', or 'hate speech'. Some might think that hate speech censorship should be acceptable, but those very same people spew hatred of Trump and his supporters all day, every day. So, no.
“Think before you post” is both sage advice and a terrifying warning. Everyone should follow suit, but no one should be frightened that a post, written in poor taste, could result in dire consequences.
Freedom of speech is literally our castle wall that holds back tyranny and darkness. Unfortunately those who want to stand watch on the wall dwindle daily. Bravo to Greg and Taiibi and Shellenberger and a few others are standing watch. It encourages the rest of us to speak out and stand with them
