We need a new bill of rights for the internet age. That won’t be happening, of course.

The Bill of Rights DOES apply to the internet. You see the real limits of the Bill of Rights when you realize it only applies to government censorship, not private/corporate censorship.

The absurdity of a "bill of rights" for the internet is that the internet is dominated by anonymity. How do I assert my rights on the internet when I don't even post with my own name -- and (in fact) have multiple identities across multiple platforms?
