The first amendment protects free speech. The people must have their say.


We both know that the First Amendment binds the government and doesn't bind private entities.


What do you want tech to do? Use agents to deploy an apparatchik to every man woman and child? Wouldn't that leave people like you out of a job? What would you do all day? Tech platforms should take no part in the social disagreements of the people. They should be neutral unbiased providers of digital space.


Yes and yes, why shouldn't they?

I'll be just fine, I don't suck at the teat of tech companies like some do.

The real question is what will you do when they come for you? Note that writing code and posting on the internet will get you nowhere.


What's stopping you from doing that? They tried to come for my passport but missed. Our heroes in the civil service saw to that. Just got a new one in the mail today and I'm so happy.
