I think our current issues around free speech on the internet are not caused by free speech but by free megaphones. It’s the free amplification of speech that is most problematic. Media companies should step up and only amplify opinions they agree with, or only those they think are worth discussing, instead of amplifying opinions even if they think they are terrible or harmful. Stop trying to be “free speech” platforms. You aren’t, and the attempt is making society a worse place.
