Barnes TechI found this substack article today that I thought was exceptionally well written about Free Speech. This is an increasingly weaponized term, which is relevant given the social media shitstorm going on right now.
I’m inferring this, but he seems to take a slightly more optimistic take than I would and seems to believe that the main problem is that people don’t quite understand the term Free Speech, and almost seems to think it’s just a misunderstanding that is the problem. While I agree there is a big misunderstanding, I believe the weaponization of the term is entirely purposeful and is just a way to manipulate people into being angry so they are more easily manipulated. Maybe he agrees, and that just wasn’t the point of this article.
Regardless, I highly recommend giving this a read.
