Also, one thing I observe. There’s sort of free-speech as a law and free-speech as a value. And from a legal perspective, I think like free-speech as law should be minimally prosecuted. For me this is just sort of a left-leaning libertarian value about a minimalistic legal system.
But one thing I notice listening to the FIRE leaders, is they don’t just think the government should stay out of legal issues, They think that the solution to all problems is more speech and we should all be in the fray speaking as passionately as possible about all issues.
And certainly Jack Dorsey either believes this or ran Twitter as if he did which is essentially the same thing.
And I think the reality is more impassioned inflamed speech is not going to solve these fundamental culture war issues. In fact as the blog opines, they probably make them worse.
