Elon Musk To Launch Hostile Take-Over Of Twitter

I also love the left's recent discovery that "OMG FREE SPEECH LEADS TO HATE SPEECH AND MISINFORMATION".

Yes, free speech does have the side effects of hate speech and misinformation. This was known back in the very early days of the United States, when the first amendment was written, and free speech was supported anyway because its good outweighs its bad.

But I love these millennials and college students thinking they just realized something profound, and that we need to finally take a stand to "prevent hate speech and misinformation", as if it's so simple to do that and retain free speech rights and a healthy public discussion.

Speech censorship is the beginning of fascism. In fact, there is no regime in history where fascism rose while freedom of speech was allowed. If you really are against fascism, you must support free and open speech, even the unpleasant or incorrect kind.

Ridiculous argument. You cannot compare a pre internet world to today. As it stands, generally, individuals have the ability to cast their message to the masses, right or wrong. Fascist regimes faced no such competition but they did control what was available. Fascist movements imposed totalitarian rule. This does not equate to the overseeing of a media platform like no other.

When is the last time you presented your opinions through print media. Do you for a minute believe a news outlet will print or broadcast your opinions as is? Op ed is your only hope and you can be sure editors/lawyers are all over it before being published.
It's apples and oranges.

I know you Yankees get all crazy with your very special freedoms but ultimately private enterprise will demand a media with regulations.
Regulations.......oooooohhhhh, scary. You live with them every day.
