All you need to know about free-speech is to look at the most dynamic free and widespread media in the world and that is radio

Liberals and leftists have never and can never make it in the TRU Arena of ideas - talk radio

They have tried and tried and tried but after Rush Limbaugh debuted the modern format 1989 here we sit some 30 years later and there are zero I mean zero national liberal talk shows

Alan combs used to be the only one I found even stomach a while back in the day

There are thousands of conservative shows and at least twenty majors

Rush. Levin. Hannity. Gallagher. Batchelor. Many more

So naturally they want to shut us down

No sir. ! MORE SPEECH

Congress 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.

Unless needed to protect the integrity of public discourse. This is self evident.

“This order is an effort to intimidate technology companies from using tools that are indispensable to protecting the integrity of public discourse online,” Jameel Jaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said in a statement.

Fire Jameel Jaffer or close the school and send everyone home.

The purpose of the First Amendment is to let people say things you may not want to hear. Shutting them up is censorship in violation of the First Amendment.

Pretending that you are providing a neutral platform while controlling the discourse destroys the integrity of public discourse. That is what is going on with Twitter and Facebook is it not?
