USENET was the equivalent of a public square on the Internet. It was overwhelmed by spam. These networks have been curated from the get-go, for no reason other than to control spam. Then, to keep people hooked, they…
I’ve made this point before: the US government has killed at least one citizen in a drone strike because he was making terrorist propaganda. Free speech, even within the loose limits set in US law is not as clearly…
I never bought into Obama’s hype machine, but the drone strike was carried out by the United States armed forces, who are required to not follow illegal orders; via a chain of command. There is a different party in…
America is founded on the idea that personal determination and defending individual liberators are paramount to a moral society I wonder what US citizen Anwar Al Awlaki would have said to that argument. The truth is…
Free speech isn't just an amendment for the government, it's a principle for society. Please point out a single society that has upheld absolute Free Speech as a principle for any significant period of time. The United…
I would expect making a pro-ISIS video/tweet to leave me without additional molestation from the government, yes If you made pro-ISIS materials, you can expect the US government to closely monitor you, and quite likely…

Facebook moderation is badly broken. After pressure from governments,they seem to have been revising a significant number of reports that they previously closed as being non-infringing. I wouldn’t trust them either, at…
The admins know my IP address. If I was posting from Tor, I’d have been dead-flagged automatically. If I was making violent threats, I’d have my comment killed at best. None of those are inconsistent with free speech.
The current interpretation of the First Amendment dates back only to 1969. And even the US government had no qualms about ordering a drone strike on a US citizen who was engaging in violent and hateful incitement. There…
Far more dangerous than the idea it’s trying to silence. I don't know about that. In the real world, there are homicidal maniacs, deranged ideologues trying to incite violence, paid propaganda outfits, state actors who…
