Comments

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

A veritable clingerfest -- and from a publication that strives to claim it is nonpartisan.

Well, nonpartisan enough to feature Federalist Societeers taking aim at mainstream authors' work, I suppose. "Often nonpartisanish," some might say.

[Krayt]

Wait. Is net neutrality our highest value, or is protecting the right of free people who own corporations to control the speech they publish the highest value?

Let me see if I want to silence their speech, or allow my own to be forced through, per particular case, like ISPs and streaming, or ISPs and messages.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

For the Federalist Society's perspective, be sure to follow The Journal Of Free Speech Law.

I regulate those platforms by never having an account.
Works great; I have never been canceled.
