You know exactly what that means. "Freedom of speech" is always "Freedom of the most powerful to push their misinformation, and there's nothing the 99% can do about it." Misinformation fucks everyone, starting with the 99%, ending with the 1%, since the beginning of history.

That is the issue that's being addressed, Big Tech has been censoring people like me, stealing my voice and the voice of dissent. And boy is it telling how afraid your political team is of free speech. We're gonna fix this mess.

I think you're right to be afraid, the shoe is about to be on the other foot, and there's a lot to answer for.

Good morning. Perhaps respond after you've had a cup of tea.

Note that we're not discussing fear, and that we're not lumping all BigTech into one group, and we're especially not supporting authoritarian leadership in BigTech, nor should we see Musk (or Muskrat) as our great white saviour of social media. To believe any of this would be bonkers.

Good morning, tea is incoming. fyi: Carroll Burnett was born today.

Musk is looking like the Great White Savior. Turns out an African was the American we needed.

we're not lumping all BigTech into one group

I am, they're all guilty. This 1984 censorship isn't a small matter, it's a crime against humanity and un-American. Treason even. You do not take away the sacred American right of free speech and not expect a reckoning.
